    I saw this article but there is no mention of BBM anywhere at all. They did mention many chat apps that I've never heard of at all. So this prompted me to think if BBM is really that far behind the rest that it doesn't deserve any mention in this article.

    Since the article is about the usage of chat apps in different countries, they should have included BBM to Indonesia where it's still the dominant chat app.

    Surprising that bbm isn't even mentioned as an 'instant messaging forefather'

    Typical bbc

    In my opinion, yes:
    • ad supported
    • universal bbm encryption keys for all messages whereas most of the others have end to end encryption
    • end-to-end encryption with bbm protected is available only in a few countries
    • unreliable notifications (especially on iOS, last time I checked)
    • features differ from one platform to another
    • very small userbase
    • spam messages from time to time (I've got no spam on other IMs)
    • sometimes the app performance is crap
    • (i think I read somewhere that) BBM creator fired
