We will come to our main topic, how to get BBM for Android and iOS in few moments. Till then let us see some news update about it.

Initially we heard from Blackberry that, BBM will come to Android Play Store and Apple App store on June 27. This news was updated by T-Mobile in a tweet, but recently they have deleted the tweet.

According to sources, Blackberry had conformed that the news of launching BBM on Android and iOS on 27 is inaccurate. The official statement from Blackberry is

    It is available Free of cost on
    Play Store(Android)
    App store(iDevices)

  • Now just select a friend or a group, press and hold the “Hold and Talk” button, speak up and release the button. Its similar to a walkie talkie with a unlimited range. However your message is saved, and you can listen to it whenever you want.
