Download: Official BBM™ for Android & iOS (iPhone®)

Alas!

After BlackBerry stood anxious Android fan-boys/girls all over the world up on 21st September 2013 as promised, the much awaited instant messenger is now available for download.

Coupled with the fact that there was a premature release of a leaked BBM app online which was actually unofficial. BlackBerry decided to postpone the official rolling out of BBM™.


The  leaked app was reported to have gotten a whoophing 1.1 million users in 8 hours - although it lead to some issues with BlackBerry's servers. Accordingly, the lauching was paused hitherto.

How to Download

Android™: Visit the Play Store to download from your Android powered device. At the moment, BBM is only available for Andriod devices running Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) and above.

iPhone® (iOS): Visit iTunes to download yours.


PS: Users in Africa might experience some difficulties in downloading theirs. Here's what  BlackBerry has got to say about that:

As part of our partnership with Samsung Africa, BBM will first be available on Samsung Android devices in Africa between October 22nd and October 24th. BBm will become available on all Android and iPhone devices in Africa on October 25th.
