    I have never had a sponsored post. Guess I'm lucky.

    Or I just haven't seen them as my feed is always set to contacts.

    they can be annoying. I keep getting game invites and really dont like it. They should let you tailor your ad interests

    I guess these sponsored ads are only available on Android & iOS devices.

    Well BBM is now a separate profit centre from the rest of BlackBerry. They need some form of income to continue to provide us with this messaging service.

    I guess it is either pay for the service or use advertisements. At least these ads are not as invasive as that of Line where it comes in a Form of a message to you & you have to read it or it remains that there is a message unread in your app.

    I agree that perhaps they should let us customise the ads to what we want to see. Perhaps also have a paid version for the non - BlackBerry phones. Reason for that is that when we purchase a BlackBerry Phone it must come with BBM.

    Why is this happening to those with BlackBerrys? Didn't we pay them for our phones? Do I get any special treatment for that or is it just like buying an Android to them?

    Just out of curiosity... for those of you who see the sponsored ads did anyone of you purchase any stickers from the BBM shop with real money?

    I purchased a bunch of stickers on my Z10 but I've not seen any sponsored ads yet. I also use BBM on my computer using Blue stacks here is where I see sponsored ads. I've not purchased any stickers on my Blue Stacks BBM before.

    Yes, I've bought way too many stickers and I started seeing sponsored posts a few weeks ago.

    I mean their stupid plan of paid features thingy.

    You know I was waiting for the day where I go to the mall and all I hear is BBM tones just like back in the days but I guess that will never happen now.
