action bar in bbm

what is the action bar option in the bbm settings? what is it for because I notice no change between having it on and off.

I think you can hide it in order to have more space on your screen.

Action bar will be shown above keyboard. If disable, action bar will be hidden, you will need to hide/minimise the keyboard to see the action bar (attach pic etc).
This option available on bbm for android/ios, but not available on BB. Cmiiw

Hello all, This is what I posted on a couple of other threads.

This honestly absolutely needs to be optional, its really bothering me. Completely undermines the 'flow' of things. its there even when in various settings and menu options, its an ever present black band of wasted space. It also looks like its a half-baked idea and I believe will evolve into a softer presence. it makes very little sense as we are able to go back to previous screens by just swiping across or by doing the diagonal swipe up from the bezel. This is an unnecessary third option for most of us who know how to use the OS. I can see the merit for users of other systems migrating to BB10. So the rational common ground would be to simply make it optional. The bar itself has plenty of room to add the option to it to make it easy. It makes even less sense as we are able to do this by swiping down while in the android runtime. So as I said, it seems like a half-baked idea and I am hopeful that this is soon to change. If any of the mods or editors of CB has had any insight into this please let us know.

thanks for clearing it up. it doesn't do anything and I thought my phone was buggered. thankfully it isn't :D
