BlackBerry Messenger 6.1.0.49 has already been released to the masses through BlackBerry App World, however those who have a BlackBerry Beta Zone account can update to version 6.1.0.68. This update is of a hotfix to address a few issues that users have been encountering. The two main issues this update fixes are: 

  • You couldn't open locations in BlackBerry Maps that you sent or received
  • The Group Updates section didn't show a red star on new items

The beta program for BBM 6.1 is still ongoing so if you do encounter any issues be sure to report them via BlackBerry Beta Zone. If you haven't already signed up to Beta Zone, sign up today at www.blackberry.com/beta.

True! Hopefully it fixes a lot of things!

Just got the email from BBBZ now as soon as crackberry posted this LOOL

those are not enough fixes to be worthy of a release... how about they try to figure out the issue i have -- i keep losing contacts.

DJ Reyes

Have you reported the issue via Beta Zone? Would be worthwhile doing so if you haven't already.

kazn3r

(are you being sarcastic, too?)

mssca

Oh... you mean loosing Contacts due to people are going to iPhone and Android? LOL

How about the scrolling issue within chats??! My gd what a pain! New version won't scroll up

mikeplus1

Slow scrolling in groups and overall laggy performance has kept me on the official release and I am ignoring this version until someone convinces me it is fixed.

Have downloaded it but I use Soti Pocket Controller Pro to operate my BB on my desktop computer and this update no longer works with Soti. I use the Pocket Controller far to much to be without this feature so I have downgraded. Just heading to the Beta zone to report it there.

Just for reference Jingu Smileys doesn't work with this version

Smiley Pack does not work with the upgrade even after restarting.

I meant the installed Smiley Packs are not working.

On a 9700 OS v5.0.0.743. BBM new message dot (orange one) still doesn't display on new messages.. it's a stupid and annoying bug, this update still didn't fix it for me.

It seems that all apps that interact with BBM doesn't work:

- Smiley Packs and other similar apps
- Vlingo for dictation (to type in something in BBM chat)
- TinyController
- All utilities that shows a menu inside BBM (except for screen capture apps)
