BlackBerry Messenger for Android gets Material Design makeover
BlackBerry has updated their Messenger application for Android with several new features, the most notable of which is a full Material Design facelift. The app sticks to Google’s design guidelines and works and looks just like you’d expect a Google-made app to.
The new design isn’t the only thing that’s been introduced with this update, though. BBM also includes a handful of new features, including changes to private chats that make things a little more discrete (and automatically delete private chats after they’ve ended), new message editing tools, and a quick way to share updates right to your BBM feed.
The mobile messenger space is extremely competitive, so BlackBerry has to keep their Messenger updated enough to take on the likes of Hangouts, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger, among other apps. This is definitely a good step, assuming you still know anyone that uses BBM.
