Exactly
one month from the time appointed , BlackBerry finally officially
released the BlackBerry Messenger ( BBM ) cross- platform , on Tuesday (
22/10/2013 ) .
Applications
that have been highly anticipated such can be downloaded for free on
Google Play Store for the Android platform and Apple's App Store for the
iOS platform .
Here's a guide and some brief information related to the fuel cross- platform .
1 . Check the version of the operating system and install
Before installing this application , you should notice the Android and iOS versions first.
BBM
cross- platform can only run on iPhone with iOS version 6 or above and
Android phones of any brand as long as it has been using Android 4.0 and
up ( Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean ) .
Just for the record , the new BBM app can run on mobile devices only. That is, the fuel can not run on Android and iPad tablets .
2 . Download and install
The easiest way is to download the application by visiting www.bbm.com fuel through an Android phone or iPhone . When opening the site via the browser , the user will be taken automatically to the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store .
If you do not want to through the site , you can visit this link for the iOS platform and this link for the Android platform .
How to download apps I download BBM with other applications . Users only need to press the "Install" button , the application will be automatically downloaded .
Unduhnya time not too long , because the installation file is only about 13 MB . If you want to download faster , you should use a WiFi network .
3 . Not to the list ? please line up
After the download and installation process is complete , users can go directly to this app . However
, the current BBM on Android and iOS can only be used by certain people
, namely those who have previously registered on the site BBM.com .
When it first opened after downloading , fuel will display a confirmation page e - mail first . Users
who have registered on BBM.com can enter e - mail address used for
registration , and sent directly to the page "Sign In " .
Instead , users who have signed up and was just about to enter an e - mail when it will be transferred to another page . Informing them to " wait their turn " before it can start using BBM on iPhone and Android .
When
the user is concerned turn has come , the BlackBerry will send an e -
mail and asked to re- confirm the user through the application of fuel .
Fortunately , the process of " waiting " is not going to take too long . KompasTekno experience , only takes about 1 hour for the process .
4 . Obliged to have a BlackBerry ID
To use the BBM app on Android and iPhone , users must have a BlackBerry ID account . By entering this account , the user will get a personal identification number ( PIN ) which is " attached" to the account .
If
you already use a BlackBerry phone and a BlackBerry ID already have an
account , you can simply enter the current account in Sign In BBM app on
Android or iPhone .
By default , all contacts will be transferred to the BBM BBM on your Android device or iPhone .
In this case , when you log on BBM Android or iPhone , you will get a new PIN and barcode . This PIN will be forever attached to the BlackBerry ID account . So , nothing will change as long as you use the same BlackBerry ID .
Just for the record , the BlackBerry ID can only be used on one device . If a BlackBerry ID used on the two devices, one device will not be able to use BBM .
If you do not have a BlackBerry ID account , you can make it through an Android device or iPhone . It can also be done through this link .
