Little Icons in BBM for Android what do they mean?

Asked: Oct 27 2013 | 5:02 am EDT 73825 Views 14 Answers View Best Answer

Hi, I have been using bbm for android for a couple of days now, and sort of run two groups....and I notice that little icons appear next to members names. I have worked out a few, things like Delivered, Read, icons in Messages, but there is one that comes next to members names in the member list, its red.....its so small I cant see what is in it, so I just wondered is there a list of Icons and what they mean? What does that red icon stand for?

Thanks

I don't know much about the Busy sign but I think it appears when your contact is not connected to the Internet, device turned off, etc. Much like when you call someone.

The busy icon can be changed in your profile settings.

You can change your status into Busy on your profile.

Your message isn't sent, you don't have a connection or receiver doesn't have connection. It changes into delivered once it's sent and gets delivered to receiver.

Hi there

Just received a message from a contact where instead of the regular grey dot before the written part.....shows a grey block with a white space inside that looks like a megaphone

And then written in blue letters written Activo(spanish version of bbm)

What does the icon and the message mean.
Thanks in advance for your replies

It's a broadcast message. The reason is grayed is because you opened it.
