The once popular instant messaging platform was launched on 1 August 2005, when the only other option we had for mobile messaging was SMS; and was initially developed for BlackBerry devices.

It rapidly grew in popularity and in 2011 RIM claimed there were 43 million active BlackBerry Messenger users worldwide.

Using BBM way back makes you feel on top of the world but now… BBM introduced group chats to the mobile device; something we take for granted today but was new and exciting at the time.

The company responsible for developing BBM Emtek said, despite its effort to keep users on the platform, users moved on to other platforms while new users proved difficult to sign on.

Consumers moved away from Blackberry Messenger to iMessage, WhatsApp, and to group chat on other social media platform.

“Though we are sad to say goodbye, the time has come to sunset the BBM consumer service, and for us to move on,”
