I have a BBM group for my family members that I created.

Today, I reset my phone using the link software; and I found out that I have been kicked off my own group.

The BBM software has finished loading. And I have used a same BBM ID as before.

Any idea?

Could be taking a while for it to restore. Otherwise have your family member reinvite you?

Hello all !

I opted to reload this old thread because it's so much the right title for my problem, and no need for two threads with same title.

Because I experienced problems after a recent OTA upgrade of my BlackBerry Passport, I had to use an autoloader, which nuked all my data.

I reloaded from a recent backup with Link, only I lost plenty of BBM chat history and my groups (I kept looping on "attempting to reload" but it never really worked out). In the end, I solved the problem by having each group re-invite me. All but one of which I was the sole admin (and I didn't allow others to invite anyone so I can' t be invited by anyone).

Since this group looked like it would never reload, I though "hey, I'll just leave the group and the next in line will become admin and invite me" ! So I quit, but other members still see me as a member and admin. I've become a ghost of my own group and I can't even post to it anymore

I tried to restore only BBM from Link, but it only reset my recent chats but didn't restore the group.

Clues anyone ?

Try getting someone in the Group to email you the QR barcode for it or send it to another phone of yours if you have one. Then scan the barcode with the phone you want to join the group with. There are posts on here where they say it removes and re-adds you if you scan the barcode.

It worked for other groups. Unfortunately, I had this one set to "members can't invite" so I can only invite through PIN scan. When I do, it says "invitation sent" but I never seem to receive it. Maybe because I still appear as group member and admin, even though I quit

Hadn't seen that announcement. Sad ! How does Blackberry hope they'll ever make the cut if they cut themselves out from hard core user base ?

BB10 is almost EOL, and services are winding down as they had warned.

Over 95% of BBM users have already migrated to other platforms.

Other platforms… and probably other apps too.
BBM is probably below 5% of messaging apps. Why do they even care to carry it to iOS & Android ?

They don't. It was licenced to Emtek.
