- Easier sign up
The BBM sign-up process has been optimized in this update, by cutting down the number of fields it takes to get signed up, so you can start chatting and sharing even faster. Name. Email. Password. That’s all you need to get started on BBM! For those of you already on BBM today, this change won't impact you at all.
- Easier Friending
The update also improves how you add new BBM contacts through email. Today, it’s a somewhat cumbersome and complicated process. This new release will simplify the process so that when you receive a BBM invite by email - all you have to do is click the link and presto, you’re BBM contacts. No need to send a PIN invite back.
- New Emoticons & more
You’ll also find 16 new BBM emoticons in this release - from a hotdog, and maracas, to a hacker and a pair of hot lips. What you know today has been renamed as the ‘Updates’ tab…‘Feeds’ has been renamed to better represent what you find there – the latest statuses and profile photos from your BBM contacts and the newest posts from the BBM Channels you follow.
