BlackBerry blames leaked BBM app for late Android release

As you all know, BlackBerry set out to release their popular messaging platform BBM yesterday for Android and the iPhone. While iPhone users are already enjoying the app, Android users were left out waiting. Here’s BlackBerry’s explanation for the late release.

As most of us are aware of, an unreleased or leaked version of the BBM for Android app has been posted online and went functional since last night. According to BlackBerry, it registered 1.1 million active users in the first 8 hours without even launching the official Android app and, as a result, caused issues which the company tried to address the whole day.

What’s the plan then? BlackBerry is, as of the moment, pausing the global roll-out of BBM for Android including the iPhone. Users who have already downloaded BBM for iPhone will be able to continue to use BBM while the unreleased Android app will be disabled.

As soon as the issues are fixed, BlackBerry will begin a staggered country roll-out of BBM for Android and continue the roll-out of BBM for iPhone. The company also advise users to follow @BBM on Twitter or sign-up on www.BBM.com to get the latest updates.

  1. In fairness andami naglabasan na fake bbm, un pakulo na magbebenta ng kung ano anong games etc. May plants and zombies 2 pa nga eh. Mukang nahawa ata sila sa pinoy, pag may rally, may baha, may traffik, may sakuna, etc, andian ung mga nagbebenta ng samot sari, pagkakakitaan lahat imbes na tumulong. Just food for da thought lng nman dont get offended, becoz if u do, tinamaan ka dun!

    • ang dami mong alam!!

  2. False alarm.

  3. Sa playstore kasi andaming fake apps walang nagfifilter ng apps before being posted sa playstore app kaya yan tuloy nag cause ng delay… Compared to appstore nag fifilter talaga ng mga fake and non sense apps..

    • Walang filter sa playstore kaya nga iyan ang isang dahilan kung bakit susceptible ang android os apps sa mga fake,malware,at virus. Kung may malware or virus iyong fake bbm app,nakomprimiso na ang phone security noong nagdownload.

  4. BlackBerry being BlackBerry. And we wonder why they are going broke.

    • Seen another BlackBerry hater. BlackBerry explained the reason for the delay. Users of BBM should be thankful that they are getting it for free. As the saying goes ” beggars can not be choosers” if you like BBM and waiting for it. Be grateful and say thank you because you’re getting it as a freebie.

    • I am not a blackberry hater. I used to be a diehard user for 10 years until recently. It’s really frustrating supporting a company that can’t keep up on their promises. Delay on BB7 then BB10, then delay on the playbook upgrade, mind you they keep promising of an OS 10 upgrade then they cancel it. So yeah, I will not be surprised if they cancel this BBM for android and iOS. Samsung or google should have buy them when they have the time.

  5. wala kasi silang initial payment as dev para mag.post ng apps sa google … unlike sa iOS merong payment mga 100$ , nagtanong din ako sa android dev community – negative sila kung lagyan ng payment barrier kasi panu na daw ung mga young programmers …

    so yun user nlng ang bahala mag.filter kung real or not …

    • Sa iP5 di naman lag … Di nga lang siya optimized with IOS 7 kaya may mga glitches. Bka sa ip4 or 4s medjo lag

  6. Dapat ung IOS version optimized sa IOS 7 tapos ung android version May holo UI

  7. PlayStore? ANDROID YAN !!!! Walang Kwenta !!!!

    • may i ask what is your commonly used browser? how about your search engine? and brand of computer you are using?

  8. Dapat meron din nito sa Windows Phone.

  9. Hello. I’ve been pondering starting my own website and am simply wondering where you purchased your style?
    Was it a no cost design or perhaps paid? Most
    of the free themes or templates I come across are pretty
    boring as well as loaded with ads. I’m ready to spend a small amount of money to get a legitimate design.
    Thanks!
