I have noticed a difference in the way pics are handled. I am running the beta bbm 6 so not sure if it is part of this. my niece sent me some pics and they were like thumbnails in the bubble on bbm and I could click them and see the full pic. Last night another friend sent me some pics and they came in like the old way where I could view download or cancel. Now I am not sure what phone he was using it might be a 5.0 phone. I know that my niece has the 9780 with 6.0. Just curious here I guess I could ask what os the guy has but not even sure he would know.
off topic: how many of you double tap you computer space bar to get a period?
I did some messing around with my other os6 phone and seems it is a os6 change. I like the new way much cleaner. viewing the pictures is no different just the way they come in the msg
its because your niece has a newer version of BBM (i forget which version this started with). the newer versions of BBM allow the pic to be automatically sent and recieved without having to accept or save it.
the other person is still using the older BBM, probably 5.0.0.66, which still forces both people to have to accept the pic first. just tell your friend to go into appworld and update their BBM.
double tapping the spacebar for a period is a standard Blackberry feature.
