During the last Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, BlackBerry announced that BBM will be available for Windows Phone and Nokia X users by next month, July
Currently, BBM is available for BlackBerry, iPhone and Android. The iPhone and Android apps were released in October after BlackBerry had trouble launching them in September. The original rollout was stopped after an unreleased, older version of the BBM for Android app was posted on numerous file sharing sites that resulted in higher volumes of data traffic than normal, which impacted the system, according to a blog post at the time.
In late October, BBM had more than 80 million active monthly users, including more than 20 million new users on Android and iPhone devices.
In a recent press release John Sims, President, Global Enterprise Solutions at BlackBerry said,
“BBM continues to grow in popularity as millions of people use our mobile platform for chatting and connecting with friends or colleagues, and we are very excited that we will soon welcome Windows Phone and Nokia X users to the BBM community,”
Nokia X and Windows Phone users will be able to make free voice calls over Wi-Fi or a mobile data connection between BBM contacts on Windows Phone, Nokia X, iPhone, Android and BlackBerry phones, the company said. They will also be able to chat one-on-one or in groups with up to 50 people and can share photos, documents and voice notes, among other things.
