BBM for Android updated with Material Design and Private chats
BlackBerry is not giving up just yet on its current centerpiece of consumer service called BBM. BlackBerry Messenger for Android just got updated with Material Design and a bunch of new features which have graduated from the beta channel to the stable version.
The latest update to BBM brings it in to 2015 finally with the new Material Design making it look much, much better than what the app looked like from launch right up to this update.
Here is a changelog from BlackBerry.
- An all-new look and feel inspired by Material Design.
- Private Chat – In a private chat, contact names and new message notifications are hidden, and the chat will self-destruct after being inactive for a short time. Perfect for the kind of conversations you would usually have in-person.
- Edit Message – retract, edit, and send again
- Hide unused sticker packs
- Quote Message – Reference and reply to a previous message in your chat.
- Update your status from the feed.
- Tablet support
- Landscape support
All these features and Material Design were only available so far in the beta channel. Of all these features, Private Chat has made it to the iOS version as well.
