As you may know if you didn’t register on BlackBerry’s website earlier this month to receive info when BlackBerry decided to re-launch BBM and then you downloaded it today you will be put “in line” to start using the app. Well it seems like CNET has posted a workaround to skip the line and be able to start using BBM right away on your Android or iOS device.
Of course to get this process started you will need to download BBM on your device first and to do that just head to BBM.com and choose the appropriate platform.
- Download BBM for either Android or iOS
- Run the app, fill in your email address as per normal, click next
- Once your email is registered, force close the app. On iOS, this can be done by tapping your home button twice and swiping the app away. On Android, you can go to Settings, Apps, BBM and stop the app from running.
- After the app has been closed, go ahead and reopen it. From there, you should be able to create an account or login.
That should do it! Let us know how it works for you.
