The latest update for BBM for Android is probably the most extensive in a very long time. The ability to withdraw sent messages and pictures is among the highlights, but there are plenty of other treats in the mix.

BBM for Android got a major update that allows users to have the same features found on iOS and BlackBerry 10, including the ability to retract sent messages.

The update is one of the most important for the platform in a long time, so BBM fans on Android should be excited, if even a little bit.

The question is what are the new features the new BBM app has brought to Android users? Well, for starters, users of the app now have the ability to search BBM chats, contacts, and groups. This is a feature most have been asking for, and now it's here.

The new update also makes it possible to like posts in the BBM feed. Users can now delete unwanted conversations in chat, you know, that conversation about Tom being an alien, but no one can ever find out.

Want to know the location of folks in your contact list? It's now possible to request that information by using a new feature called Glympse. Some contacts will even be able to receive messages broadcasted to them.
One interesting feature that should have everyone talking is the ability to retract a message. This is important because sometimes folks send messages they later realized should not have been sent, and as such should be able to take it back. This is similar to the feature in Gmail where after an email was sent, users had a short window to stop it on its tracks.

With this new BBM update, messages aren't the only things that can be retracted. The option is there to withdraw images, and we know how folks tend to share images they shouldn't be sharing over social media apps such as these.

We like that the update doesn't just allow users to retract a single message. If a user feels the need to, he or she can withdraw all messages in a single chat or group - kind of cool, right?

As expected, the update brings with it the regular bug fixes to make for a smoother overall experience. For those who have yet to see an update prompt for BBM on Android, we suggest heading over to the Google Play Store to get it.

Nice but Whatsapp Rockz!

Okay... 2go still balling

This is very old nau, like months and months old, it also isn't free you get a trial period then you have to pay for a subscription to keep using it and some other privacy features.

who still uses BBM anyway

Sh!tty app.

The Ability to Retract msg and Timing Msg is not a new feature on BBM for Android! OP maybe you just ported to Android from BB 3310.


Seasons Greetings anyway!

bbm has gone extinct..

There are limits on how many you can retract..

And this feature is as old as Methuselah


Seems like someone just woke up really

It has limit if you are using the latest version, I am still on the old version and it has no limit. One of the reason I will never update my bbm, it also has the timed message just like snapchat. Best app ever

BBM features don't thrill me.

khristals:

Me

ok

Dark theme like the BB10 Devices... I'm still waiting for this.

Op, have you been living under a rock?

Modified:
The Op is right afterall. In addition to retracting messages which has been present for a while, BlackBerry have added new features to BBM. You can now like someone's dp and you can delete some particular conversations(a feature that has been on whatsapp for ages now), etc.

Waitttttt this OP is just knowing about this feature? people have been rocking it since before Nigerian independence. lol the next feature we need to see is video calling

I still preferred whatapps. Anyone that has BBM should also have Whatapps, There is no point chatting with the same people on both Whatapps and BBM.

Lalasticlala come see ooo.... Bbm don upgrade ooo... you better park that your IPhone now...

Whatsapp over BBM anyday..BBM too rigid

End time feature..

Am coming
