    Greetings,

    I'm trying to create a custom pin. When I open BBM, I tap myself at the top, then tap "Customize my PIN". I then tap the Subscribe button, and get an error message saying "Update BBM: This feature requires an updated version of BBM." So I tap the Update button. It then opens BBM in BlackBerry World, showing version 10.15.7.5 (the latest) already installed.

    I've already tried restarting. What else can I try to get past this error message?

    Thanks,
    Shane.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Same error message, though.

    How anyone been able to get a custom pin on BB10? Also, I can't find anyone who is getting this same error.

    BBM in BlackBerry World says "NEW! Get a custom PIN that's exclusively yours", so it looks like version 10.15.7.5 is sufficient.

    Thanks,
    Shane.
    I get the same error on my Classic, so I guess there is no custom PIN for BB10 users...

    Correct according to my additional help. BB10 no longer supports custom PIN. Sorry folks.

    BBM actually lists this as a feature in BlackBerry World.

    Weird.

    BBM has been updated to version 10.16.7.2. Custom pins are still broken.

    They are still listed as a feature in BlackBerry World.

    Seems like this is an ongoing issue.

    Custom PINs are an Android/iOS Emtek Messenger function only.

    BlackBerry is pushing users off BlackBerry 10 gently, so we won't see the feature added.

    If that's true, then BlackBerry shouldn't be advertising this feature for BlackBerry 10.

    You might have to change the theme to see links.

    Actually they were a paid feature on BB10 and other OSes. Then Android and iOS it became free but nothing as such was updated for BB10. Not sure whether you can still buy that subscription on BB10 or not.

    totally ridiculous that they have the feature showing and you get an error, what a waste of space.
