“The new release provides the unmatched level of privacy and control to BBM users without any subscription fees. Keeping control over the messages and content that they share, BBM users can be ensured that what they share is always theirs to control,” Matthew Talbot, senior vice president (BBM) at BlackBerry, said in a statement.

BlackBerry initially launched retract and timer feature back in 2014 but these features were added in its $1 monthly premium subscription plan.

On iOS, users will now also be able to share larger videos. They will also see a new look in chat.

This update will reach you  within 24 hours. On iOS, do not renew your subscription.
