BBM for Android delayed

BBM for Android delayed

Android users will have to wait a bit longer to message their BlackBerry friends, with release of BBM for Google's OS now delayed.

Various reports are suggesting a leaked version of BBM, or BlackBerry Messenger, for Android, reached over a million downloads in just one day, but the app was plagued with various bugs and issues which are now being fixed.

The struggling Canadian phone manufacturer took to Twitter to alleviate user concerns, "We know you're waiting. Pausing #BBM4All rollout to fix issues caused by unreleased BBM for Android app," the company said.

Apple users have already been able to jump on the BBM for a few days now, seemingly without incident.

BBM is a rival service to apps like WhatsApp and Viber, allowing users to send free messages via their data service. BBM is most notable for its security features, however every message is highly encrypted, making the service popular amongst protest groups and anyone weary of government surveillance.
As we reported earlier today BlackBerry shares fell by another 20% amid poor quarterly results, and it confirmed massive job losses. Can the popular BBM software help turn the company around, at least a little?
