The first cross-platform version of Blackberry Messenger (BBM) was released last week on iOS & Android which received great support from users worldwide. According to the company’s report, its messenger app was downloaded 10 million times within 24 hours. Plus, the app received 60,000 5-star reviews on Google Play Store and made to the top list on Apple App Store

BBM is available on Apple App Store & Google Play Store for free download and use, but due to high traffic, Blackberry has currently limited access to the service. Unless you were pre-registered with Blackberry to use BBM or registered prior to this waiting line/list being put in place, the only way to use BBM is to reserve a spot in line by registering with your email and waiting for your turn. Don’t want to wait in line? This guide shows you how to skip that line. Read on to learn more.
