Blackberry today announced the release of it's trademark app 'blackberry messenger' on iOS and Android operating systems.
BBM will be available for Android smart phones running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean beginning at 4.30pm on September 21. BBM for iPhones running iOS 6 and iOS 7 will become available for each market on the App Store schedule of 12:01am local time on September 22.
A lot of fake apps are currently on Google Play Store fooling thousands of consumers. One such app was called ‘Blackberry Messenger BBM" and was downloaded by over 100,000 users until it was removed from the store. However, the official BBM app is only available in New Zealand for iPhone customers.
Global roll out is underway. The official Android version will show up here when it is released.
Initially, when Blackberry made the announcement of making BBM available to all, a lot of users and non-users reacted to the big move with mixed opinions.
BBM has more than 60 million monthly active customers on BlackBerry alone and this figure is expected to multiply with the popular messaging app becoming available on the two most popular mobile platforms.
Sunil Lalvani, the company’s India managing director, spoke on how BBM will be more secure than any other instant messenger tools and how this will help the company on its way forward.

I guess this is big news to BBM fans who use iOS or Android operationg systems but still want to keep in touch with the Blackberry contacts.
BlackBerry has
announced the availability of its much-awaited BBM for iPhone app for
India as the calendar moved to September 22. The app was first available
in New Zealand. But the equally-if-not-more-eagerly-awaited Android app
which was scheduled to arrive earlier has been delayed and there is no
news yet about when to expect it.
"Good morning #India. #BBM for #iPhone is now available in the App
Store." tweeted the official @BBM Twitter ID and BlackBerry offered no
reasons for the inordinate dalay in releasing the Android app. Apart
from some attempts at humour, all that @BBM is a tweet thanking eager
users for their 'patience.'
