BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ: BBRY) (TSX: BB), a global leader in mobile communications, today announced that it has released several new features for BBM, offering users new ways to chat and share with more privacy and control over their communications.
At the core of the BBM experience is privacy and control.

New features for BBM introduced today enable users to communicate with more discretion and freedom. Features introduced today include:
“These new enhancements to BBM were highly requested so we–re excited to be delivering them to users today,” said John Sims, President Global Enterprise Services at BlackBerry. “These capabilities will allow our users to be more creative in how they deliver their messages while also being confident that their content is kept private and seen only by its intended recipient.”
Timed Messages and Message Retraction are premium features that will be available free and without restriction to BBM users over the next three months. After this time, unrestricted access to these features will become part of a broader bundle of features that will be offered as part of a BBM subscription.
Today–s announcement underscores the commitment to making BBM a world class privacy-focused instant messaging application.
