Out of curiosity, what draws you to Telegram specifically? If you have answered that question too many times before I get it... (maybe there is a post of you out there with your reasons already? ) And what makes it better compared to BBM? Yes, I haven't used it myself, no one in my social network does so wouldn't be able to try it anyway (when I finally switch to Android).04-22-17 08:58 AMLike 0 - I really sure it was a fake news..indonesia is the main market for bbm,millions people are using it...it is bad hand writing to take down BlackBerry...android is another blackberry's wing....bbm not make bb lost in profit..blackberry only have issue with old spec smartphone and lack of apps, not the apps developed by blackberry..bbm stil be the best security social apps...really important in daily life

Any truth to this nonsense is more of a reason to stop buying it's products, regardless of OS.

Killing BBM for BB10 would just be one of a long line of areas where support for BB10 has ended - there's a long list already. But that shouldn't shock anyone, especially current BB10 users. BB10 as a platform has been on its deathbed for a long time already, and various body parts have been amputated to preserve the last bit of life, but that also meant that more and more people left for other platforms, including but not limited to BB Android.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the number of active BB10 users worldwide was under 1M by now, and many of those aren't active BBM users. That number will drop a good deal further by the time 2018 rolls around. Folks need to be realistic about what those numbers mean for the platform.Dunt Dunt Dunt likes this.04-23-17 10:32 AMLike 1 - BB knows exactly how many BB10 users are active on BBM - they have those stats available, and I would bet that the amount of traffic is quite low and falling. BBM usage in developed markets has been in freefall for 5+ years already, and in the markets where it was still doing well until recently, it was primarily used on BBOS, and is now primarily used on Android, because BB10 had very low adoption there due to the price of the phones.

But the big deal here is that they should stop selling OS10 devices then and stop claiming that they are fully committed to OS10.
That's what makes OS10 fans furious.

That BlackBerry no longer creates phones and has almost 0 market share removes any anti-competitive barriers...04-23-17 12:28 PMLike 0
- Agreed. They create their own negative marketing without any help from anyone else. As of this week, I will be moving on to (ugh) Android because my Z30 is now unreliable both software and hardware-wise. Z going to Android is something that I said that I would never do. Never. But here I am swallowing a bitter pill and moving to it because unfortunately, I don't see a better choice out there. The cheapest best spec phone I can get is a S7 ($0 on my regular contract) and so that'll be it. Hopefully - insert lots of wishful thinking here - Windows Mobile makes a comeback and my next phone afterward will be with MS. I dreamed a dream...04-23-17 12:36 PMLike 0

- Telegram is popular in Europe according to people I know from there. It is being used more and more among people I know in the US as well. It is also being used for group communication in an organization to which I belong, and works quite well for that. It can be used for broadcast (or one way) messaging as well, by which I mean info only going out from a source without people being able to reply, so the actual announcement isn't buried by a multitude of replies.04-23-17 03:16 PMLike 0
