Today in Blackberry Live 2013 Annual Conference Blackberry announced the arrival of low-cost BlackBerry Q5, release of BlackBerry 10.1 OS upgrade. But the most exciting among all is the Canadian vendor is all set to provide BBM services to third-party platforms for the first time. Android and iOS are the two platforms the BB is considering to provide support.
BBM was the first fully functional messenger and it’s still one of the best and secured messaging systems out there. With the arrival of low-cost solutions like Whatsapp the popularity of BBM is reduced but Blackberry without BBM is just like soul without blood. Whatsapp is available for BlackBerry Z10.

BBM (Blackberry Messenger)
Initially the following services will be available on both Android and iOS-
The immediacy of BBM chats
Multi-person chats
Voice note sharing
BlackBerry Groups, where BBM users are able to set up groups of up to 30 people and share calendar, photos, files and more
In future the company will try to provide all the features of BBM including screen sharing that is introduced with BBM6.
BBM is still a popular messaging system. The following stat provided by the company suggests the popularity-
More than 60 million monthly active users
More than 51 million daily active users who are connecting with friends or colleagues an average of one and a half hours every day.
BBM users send and receive more than 10 billion messages each day, nearly twice as many messages per user per day as compared to other mobile messaging apps
Almost half of BBM messages are read within 20 seconds of being received; indicating how truly engaged BBM customers are
BBM is compatible to iOS 6 and all the Android versions above v4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.​
