Just checked the dtek App. Why is bbm constantly pinging my location? Must be a hundred events in one day.

Because companies love knowing where you are at all times.

Turn off location permissions.

just because it's a blackberry product, I didn't think it would behave this way. thought blackberry is more respectful of people's privacy

Blackberry is a corporation, therefore cannot be trusted to do anything but serve their own profits.

Meaningless anyway since BBM is no longer a Blackberry product, it was licensed (pretty much sold) to Emtek, a foreign company.

Even if BBM wasn't transitioned over to Emtek, how much would you pay for the service? Most users don't care, they want free in exchange for sharing the info.....
