BBM Coming Soon With New Features

The once dominant BBM is coming to Android and to iOS and we told you about this a couple months ago. A new development however is that Blackberry is now bringing a whole bunch of new features to the messaging platform, in a bid to try win back people from WhatsApp which has really become a heavyweight in the free messaging service realm.

BBM Video With Screen Share

People using BBM will now be able to switch from chat to video with the new features that are coming up. There is also more such as the ability to share the view from your camera with the user that you are currently speaking with and also the ability to show photos, your browser, or a business document. This is a pretty neat feature which is currently not available with rival messaging platforms.

BBM Voice

In addition to having the ability to actually switch from chat to video call, you can also switch from chat to voice calling also.You can speak to your BBM contacts for free, all over the world using your wi-fi connection. You will know instantly once your friends are available for calling because you will be notified much like Skype.

BBM Connected Apps

You will also be able to chat with your BBM friends within your apps and select your BBM contacts to invite them to join in on whatever you are doing. Facebook, Twitter, Blackberry Travel and Blackberry world are all BBM connected apps which means you can share your travel itinerary without leaving BBM
