BlackBerry Messenger for Android ;iPhone Unsupported Operating System

 

It is no longer news that BlackBerry is
releasing the BlackBerry
Messenger to other platforms before
September.
This was further reassured by Thorsten
Heins at the BBLive conference
this morning.
According to Thorsten Heins, BBM would
be free of charge to download
and use. However, only the messaging
and group chat would be rolled
put first, followed by BBM Voice, Screen
Sharing, Video Capabilities
and BBM channels later in the year.
While a lot of folks are very much excited
about this soon to be
released BBM for Android and iOS, it is
important to note that some
devices are not supported.
Below are the devices it won't support
1. Any Android device running Android
version lower than Ice Cream
Sandwich i.e. Anything less than Android
4.0 won't be supported.
2. Any iOS device running less than iOS
6.0 won't be supported. I.e.
Any iPhone lower than iPhone 3GS won't
be supported, iPhone 4 still
running iOS 5.1.1 won't be supported.
Same goes for the iPads running
less than iOS 6.
3. Windows Phone 8 devices are not
supported at all.
What does this mean?
It simply means that if you are very
excited about this move and want
to use BBM on your Android or Apple
device, you should also make sure
that your mobile device meets the
requirements to download and use the
soon to be released BBM for Android and
iOS.
