BBM has been cross platform for roughly a year now and since then, BBM’s MAU (Monthly Active Users) has increased from roughly 65 million to 91 million. Growth and improvements to the BBM overall has been evident on all levels and the BBM team have not called it a day. A new BBM Beta program is available with all new features and improvements.
Have a read below at what the BBM team have been upto. It’s looking good from here!
In September, we announced two new BBM payment initiatives – an enhanced BBM Money service in Indonesia and integration with TransferTo allowing BBM users to gift mobile airtime minutes to their BBM Contacts globally. We also launched a new integration between Hootsuite and BBM Channels to allow Channel owners to engage with fans and followers alongside other social networks through the Hootsuite social media management platform.
It has been a busy last few months! The BBM community now includes over 91 million monthly active users around the globe.
But we’re not done yet – not by a long shot. We have a lot more in store for BBM this year and it starts today with the next BBM beta, which you can download here.
With this beta release we’re showing that we’re listening to you, our users, and are focused on adding some of the features you’re asking for. This beta introduces:
- A new sticker picker to make it faster and easier to browse, select, and use the sticker packs you love.
- High Quality image transfers by default – no more need to request an HQ image
- Plus, Android users will be able to share what they’re listening to with their BBM contacts through BBM status updates
This is just the start of some great new BBM experiences that we have on the way this fall. We think you’re going to love what we’ve got coming next!
