BBM died a long time ago, and to be sincere with you, whatsapp is exactly what an IM should be, and it's even improving, BBM actually has no place on my device and to think of the fact that after knowing you I have your phone number, I still have to like "can I have your PIN?" dat is even annoying
Dude, that is the whole idea behind bbm, to have two completely different worlds in ur phone. Two worlds you can manage independent of each other. I can let you have my number and by so doing, put u in my phone/whatsapp world but I might not like you enough to have you in my bbm world.

No way.!! shocked m not updating!!
I just noticed that the other person must have the latest version also before you can chat with him without invite. So you might wanna withold updating for now if you really don't want that intrusion.

Bbm just started giving out ppl's pins FOC. Once someone has ur number, the person can get ur pin and can chat with you even without sending you an invite. This function is available in the latest version of bbm. This makes it just like whatapp. What
do you think about this development?
that means no updating to the latest version then its really that easy...we jst stay with this version

I don't think it's that easy, you might open bbm one day and see a message like this..
"Your version of bbm is outdated and no longer works. Please update your bbm to enjoy the latest developments. Thanks for using bbm"
And there goes ur escape route.

The people that have my contacts can send thousands of messages, but they can't force me to reply it. So there's no big deal.

Re: BBM Pin No Longer Private by wonlasewonimi: 10:35am On May 01, 2015
I take it you guys have never heard about TELEGRAM. With this, as soon as your enemy join, you're informed. You can then block them!

First off, they are not giving out People's PINs as you claimed, rather they are letting you be aware of Contacts / Friends that you already have who are using BBM thereby helping you grow your network.

Same as Facebook Showing "Friends you may know"!

Note that for you to see the "Other Contacts", you should already have the following attributes of the Contact:
1. An email address that corresponds to the BBID of the contact.
2. A phone number that corresponds to one in the BBID of the Contact.

Also remember, you won't see the BB PIN of the Contact until you both become BBM Contacts. So in essence your identity is very much hidden.

I think it's a brilliant move considering the pressure from other chat apps(WhatsApp, wechat et al). Bbm is meant to be private but they lost it since it went cross platform. What I think they should do now it to divide bbm into sections(it's already divided tho).

They sound bring more options namely

Updating dp only for bbm contacts or contacts or all contacts

Updating pm only for bbm contacts or contacts or all contacts

I think this move would bring more privacy and would make bbm stand unique and different

All in all its a brilliant move

Whatsapp is far too fine for bbm to even attempt a catch up.. Over a billion Android users alone.
Re: BBM Pin No Longer Private by blaquemyc: 7:24pm On May 01, 2015
Your pin, dp and updates are still private as long as you've not added the contact.

@OP you don't know what you're talking about o.

That feature actually means that you can chat with phonebook contacts and they must be conected to the Internet.

It has nothing to do with exposing your PIN.


Actually it's you that will expose your PIN by chatting with random people that are not contacts on your BBM.

The feature was even developed to encourage people to chat with their other contacts without inviting them to BBM.

If you have other questions you can add me on BBM tongue pin:2BF38E84
