Think no one is interested in BBM? Think again. The app released by BlackBerry has been downloaded way too many times than you can imagine.
According to the official
BBM Twitter account (via
9to5Mac), more than 5 million people have
downloaded BBM for iOS and Android in just eight hours after its release. BBM is now the No. 1 free app in the App Store.
9to5Mac mentions that the number of downloads could be much higher. BlackBerry only mentions that 5 million users have activated their BBM accounts, and because of the reservation system set in place by BlackBerry, the number could be higher.
Give it a try here. It is available in the
App Store for free. BlackBerry has put together a bunch of helpful video tutorials that are available on its
YouTube channel.
