To my IOS, Android and BlackBerry BBM users.
Hello my fellow BBM users. I use BBM on IOS and I am glad BlackBerry spread the love of an awesome application. I was gonna ask to the rest of the community though, what are three features that you would love to see to come to BBM on IOS and Android? This can include features on BBM for BlackBerry 10. For me I would love to see these three features come to BBM;
1. Email Support: This would to me, greatly expand the general "business" and "productivity" feel that I get from using BBM on a daily basis. This would also possibly bring over one of my favorite features from the BlackBerry Hub, the Priority Hub. When I used my Q10 as a daily driver, It was an absolutely great way to prioritize the way my email was filtered. This when combined with "pinch" to filter messages, created an awesome email flow that I found to miss when I switched over to IOS.
2. Video Calling: This will most likely come in a future update. I found that it round out the experience of using BBM and make it more on par with the BB10 version. It was useful only a few times for me personally as the amount of people I had on BBM was only a few people. If though, this update was pushed to BBM on Android and IOS, it would greatly expand the amount of people who could use it and make it something far more valuable to me as a user.
3. Ability to open post links that appear in a BBM Channel link, within BBM: I found this to be my biggest gripe about using Channels. Whenever a channel I follow pushes a post with a link, it always forces me to open it in Safari. While this itself isn't really a huge deal, it is flow breaking. The need to constantly switch between apps and close unused Safari links when I am finished with them, really takes me out of the experience of viewing a channel's content. It's a minute gripe, but one I feel would really benefit the overall user experience in not just Channels, but for all of BBM.
What are some features you would like to see?
