After problems relaunches BlackBerry BBM app for iPhone and ... - Techworld

Company had withdrawn messaging app air after “leaking” on the web. Now, iOS and Android users will have to get in line to use virtual service.

The BlackBerry is once again trying to launch messaging service BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) for iOS and Android devices, version after a “leaked” the application require the Canadian company to discontinue no release around one month.

In a post on his official blog, the company says that the BBM application will appear in stores and Google Play App Store on Tuesday, 22/10 – to get the download links, just directly access the shops and get the app or go www.bbm.com.

But most eager users will have to wait a bit until they actually start sending and receiving messages. To cope with demand, the BlackBerry says it is implementing a queuing system, and users need to inform an e-mail to book a place in that queue after installing the application. Who have already done this in advance with registration bbm.com not need to wait in line.

For those who do not remember, BBM has been a unique feature of BlackBerry smartphones, allowing users to send messages between them without needing to spend with operators.

However, recently other applications like WhatsApp and Viber provided similar features between platforms. Not to mention other options like iMessage, Apple, which allows for free messaging between iOS devices and Macs.

The queue system seems similar to that used by the well known iOS app email, Mailbox, which was launched amid much noise early in the year. The wait to use the Mailbox reached last for days and even weeks for some users. Hopefully BBM users do not have to wait that long. The BlackBerry says “is focused on moving millions of users in the queue as soon as possible.”
