After a very brief stint at issue one in the app shop , Blackberry’smuch - vaunted BBM message service — previouslyhailed as the Jesus of the intact company — is now languishing in 462nd place on the App Store . But never fear ! Because Blackberry is going to turn its fortunes around , by Snapchattifying its electronic messaging religious service .
In the fresh beta variant of BBM , Blackberry has announce ‘ ultra - private ’ features , which will ensure that “ what you apportion is yours to control – even once it ’s left your earphone . ” Unless , of course , your friends have heard of screenshots , in which case you ’re screwed .
The new features come in the form of a Snapchat - manner timer , that can rig your subject matter to decease after a sealed number of seconds , and the ability to abjure messages . Although the timekeeper function for sure is n’t anything new — even Apple has had time to put that lineament into iMessages — the ability to abjure messages could turn out to be handy , if you accidentally send something you did n’t mean to .
Whether or not this will be enough to rescue a caller that lost $ 84 million last year remains to be go out . [ BlackberryviaThe Next Web ]
