Whether you're looking for the PC and Mac apps or the BlackBerry 10, iOS or Android versions, BlackBerry Blend has been updated across the board today with several improvements and fixes. Right now, the desktop versions don't really have a change log but the smartphone apps all share the same one.

New in this release:

  • Support for timed messages and message retraction in BBM
  • Support for corporate liable devices
  • Attach files from your Android tablet
  • Security improvements

Enterprise features:

  • BBM Protected support
