Here's a nice piece of news for those of you out there frustrated with the file size transfer limit being set at 6MB over BBM. In discussions with Jeff Gadway, part the BBM Product Marketing team, he let it be known that the BBM team has heard customers loud and clear and are looking to adjust or remove the limit with the next version of BBM.
Hey @Bla1ze @thelink74 happy to say we're addressing the 6MB file transfer limit in the next v. of @BBM. Have heard users loud and clear!
— Jeff Gadway (@gadway) February 28, 2014
When exactly that next version will arrive remains a mystery but either way, it's nice to hear that it's finally going to be addressed. Also, don't forget the next BBM update will bring even more BBM emojis as well so with this news, there's plenty to look forward to already in the next update for BBM.

6MB file size transfer limit over BBM to be addressed in next version
really want BlackBerry to go for it and make the limit to at least 50 MB per file!!
Yes! I can't send 2 pics at a time without going through the whole motion of finding the pic to send

Great...!!

Nice option but will not really have the impact BlackBerry need to claw back market share. We need an evolution in mobile. Take a look at MWC and you will realize that mobile hardware development has slowed somewhat. Wearable headgear and biological tech will be the future.

We need HQ DP's, those current low res ones are not acceptable.

Yehey I'm happy to hear this one. Sometimes I would like to send a video but of course it won't let me send vid as it's more than 6mb so I move to whatsapp to send it!
via Q10
I'm all in favor of much higher limits but also understand why they do this. I bet it's not really because they want to save people's data plans but rather their own. Keep in mind the reason that BBM and BlackBerry in general is secure; it's because all the traffic for BBM travels over BlackBerry's proprietary network of secured servers around the world starting at the carrier edge (note that little BlackBerry icon in the upper corner that turns in when you have a network signal.) No one else has infrastructure like this to ensure the full path is secure. My guess is their network has capacity limits and they have to limit it so they don't have outages or slow performance. It likely takes time to upgrade their network and also costs them more money than others so they have to be diligent about use like video streams or huge files.

Thank God!

Please remove the 6MB limit, maybe something more plausible like a monthly cap of say 1GB.
Or 250Mb per individual file
Phobe's Owner- 2AD257F7
You know what would be a hit for bbm vs whatsapp, is that if bbm can use phone numbers of your contact list and find everybody who has bbm and add them to the suggested list in the invite. Therefore it is more secure and your contact list is not automatically added to your bbm contact list like whatsapp. This might beat all the IM out there and add more users as fast as whatsapp but more secure.
Posted via CB10
Why can't BlackBerry and BBM integrate a cloud solutions for sharing and that would over would definitely stand out from the rest of IM.
Posted via CB10
Whatsapp has 16 mb limit, Bbm should beet that by far!!!!
Posted via CB10
Hopefully they don't bump in to 6.1 MB
Posted via Z10
They also need to address the ability to post video to groups in this update as well. And pls do it for all platforms. I totally love my BlackBerry. But they need to keep up or step ahead. It's no longer acceptable to lag behind!
Posted via CB10
Cool
Posted via CB10
Finally!!!!!!!! 6MB-Limitation for full HD videos (or other attachments) seems to be deep cretaceous age!
Well, I hope that BlackBerry will receive some sort of royalty for the data through-put.
Even with compression, isn't anyone worried that this will open the floodgates and crash the servers?
BlackBerry is acting like they have Google-like resources. I am a bit concerned about this. All we need now is to hear that the fine thread holding BlackBerry together has been broken.
YESYESYESYESYESSSSSSS
Awesome! Glad to see this.
Bout time this got changed most mp3 files are over 8mb
Posted via CB10
Great (yet you can already use dropbox ...) !
Awesome news. I'm aware of a few people who won't use BBM because of this limit.
I thought the Dropbox integration was supposed to solved the large file cap issue? I would rather NOT have my friends sending me big files willy-nilly on bbm, they can mail me a link to a sharing site, thank you very much.
Posted via CB10
Hallelujah

Yeah as much as I try to convince family and friends to switch from whatsapp to BBM they like certain things about whatsapp better. The ability to have pics and video in your discussions thread is another no brainer imho.

Its good to see that finally they are addressing those thing that we wanted to be solve a long time ago, I will remain using by BBM and spreading the word to android and ios users, BBM Rocks!!!
Can they have a user defined setting to limit to wifi at a specified size at both ends?
Posted via CB10
这是很好。 我已经告诉他们。
Posted via CB10
Any idea why they implemented it in the first place? Back in the day I get it. But in the last two years they were trying to re-brand and become a modern company. Something like that just screams 2006.
Bout' time, especially when Whatsapp allows 15mb's.

About bloody time!
How about enabling BB10 to produce low resolution videos so that they can be exchanged easily within BBM Without resorting to WhatCrap!
Posted via CB10
Finally.. 6mb was way to low for vids and stuff.. as well as the picture quality maybe?
C0038297E Quote of the Day (BBM Channel)
About time...
Posted via CB10
The limit needs to be lifted up. 12mb sounds pretty reasonable to me.
Multiple images, multiple emojis (you press one and have to reopen the emojis to select another), bigger file sending size; should be unlimited. Better profile quality.
Whatsapp does all this, they're the main competition right now. I have friends that refuse to even try bbm cause they ask me what does it do that whatsapp can't?
Posted via CB10
9999MB Limit!
Since 2010
What about compressing pictures down to 10kb, that's even worse.
Everytime I send a picture on bbm I have to explain this requesting of higher quality process and steps
The limit should be raised higher than the competition
Thanks for listening. That limit is really annoying

It would be cool to have Bbm video before whatscrap even has voice
Posted via CB10
With the announcement of eBBM this had to happen otherwise what's the point.
Enterprise customers expect a better grade of service than just ordinary customers.
Personally I think there should be no distinction regarding the service you receive. It should be Platinum Standard especially with the changing nature of business.
It has become more fluid, you don't even need to run it from an office.

I'm guessing synced with BBM Video release, if you want to make sure it pushes through and competes you want to be able to share anything, no holds barred.

I truly hope that removing the limit also means removing 'HQ' request for picture transfers. Why in the world did they even come up with that? If someone is sending you a picture they want you to have HQ picture anyway.
Posted via CB10
Is good to remove 6MB file limitation. It really restrict me to share my favourite video

Very important. While I get the data conscious mindset of BlackBerry, the end user should be able to decide. Especially now that we have got iOs en Android users on BlackBerry Messenger!
Posted via CB10
Things to add that will improve and make BBM so much better:
1. The option of directly sending photos and videos to many as BC.
2. The option of choosing emotions when sending BC.
3. The option of liking personal BBM status like DP or status message.
4. The option of seeing your messaging, posting, liking and other participation history or actions right in the BBM menu.
5. The option of sending BC to category of contacts and not to all only and go through the trouble of deselecting the contacts you don't want to send BC to.
6. The option of posting tweets and FB messages and statuses as BC in BBM.
7. When sharing messages from browser or else where like FB, picture, video or even a BBM Channel post, ...etc to more than one contact or perhaps as a BC to BBM contacts
Posted via CB10
Also would love to see the option of bringing videos and location services to bbm groups :)

The key benefit for me is that I can share with a defined group pictures or videos or messages and not have to use multiple different social media programmes
Posted via CB10
Finally!!!!!
wow big news indeed and with BBM crossing over to
windows phone and hopefully more people installing BBM,
I should be writing my thank you notes to Whatsapp very soon......
and saving more battery life in the process! lol....
i suppose BB should remove the file attachment limit since its a pain point to some people, but since BB10 launched with Dropbox and box.net integration, it became a non issue for me..
Sending a 300MB file directly to a BBM contact is no where near as efficient as sending a box.net or dropbox link...sending the file directly burns my data and the recipient's data..i don't see the sense in that but i guess the freedom to choose is never a bad thing
The message to BlackBerry and BBM...

They should also fix the image quality via mms, I can't send the full HQ I need to ether email it to the person or cloud or blue tooth or BBM which I shouldn't have to do six extra steps for a simple one step process.
Posted via CB10
Now that data plans are becoming cheaper the bbm file limit should increase with this. As people are moving to mobile computing and away from desktop, it's limits should be 100-200 megs in my opinion. Right now Whatsapp has 12 or 16 as a cap. Let's better that BlackBerry!
Posted via CB10
19. Billion bits please
Posted via CB10
what about the automatic compression of pictures... need a way to auto send HQ versions. that extra step to request HQ version is one step too many in most situations.
Just said that, and couldn't agree more!!
Posted via CB10
if people have the wifi/data to make wifi calls...it stands to reason that they can handle a ~1-2mb jpeg
While they are at it. Remove the low resolution feature when sending pictures..or at least give us the option to set HQ and the default for sending and receiving. Cant tell you how many friends think BBM sucks because all the pictures sent look crappy.

Can't wait for this.

How is uploading a file and having someone else download it as convenient as just sending it? The point is to make it easy and more convenient. People won't use it if it harder than whatsapp or just texting.
Now, where's multi photo sharing!!!!!!! Multi file sharing I should say
From my White Z30
Yes YES YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!! Finally! That is the main reason why I have held on to WhatsApp. I'm always sending music to people and most files are larger than 6MB. *Tears of Joy*
Posted via CB10
Especially with Dropbox integration the limit should be gone and add multiple attachments in a single send
Posted via CB10
While they're listening, can they expand the email size limit too? Maybe give us a limit while on the network and none while on Wi-Fi? I like the idea of user selectable limit. Someone mentioned above too.

Thank goodness... I hope "addressed"doesn't mean "piss everyone off by increasing the limit just enough to annoy everyone". BBM will get somewhere is they make file transfer between different platforms easy, useful and fun. Remove the limit and let people burn data at their own risk...
Posted via CB10
It's 16 mb. I have the beta with stickers. Bad part is I can't send to anyone unless they have the beta too
Rogers Deals and Discounts C0022C8F2
Not happy!!!! BlackBerry people just choke on everything... that is not how innovative revolutions happen..
And no.. using it to share large files is not like using torrents..
In case of torrent files, thousands of people are sharing a single file at the same time..
In this case, a file is being sent from one person to another... which is absolutely no different than sending VHS movies, then CDs and then DVDs to your relatives and friends abroad through snail mail... Only difference is that it is quicker.. thanks to innovators that in fact had balls to actually make a difference..
If they call it a communication tool.... then they should first learn what eCommunication is replacing...
I mean when real innovators are trying to figure out teleporting, BlackBerry wants to limit file size to 16M, sounds like trying to control what people should have... In, that case... I've a news for you will fail...because someone will give them what they want, that BlackBerry should have learned by now, you would think...
As a matter of fact.. it is the real reason why the company is failing in the first place, it is a company full of chokers.. top to bottom all choke on everything that they try to take a bite out of..
Posted via CB10
16mb Really just like Whatsapp? Message to BlackBerry Wake the hell up! and don't hold back! If your going to update something dont update to the current standard, future proof and take that step forward - MAKE IT BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION!!!
Thank goodness! It's one of the two reasons I still have whatsapp on my phone. The other being that sending attachments fail many times. I hope they sort that out too!!

This is what we are need
I can see a limit on file transfers if we're traversing some of BlackBerry's pipes.
What I think would absolutely rock is if BlackBerry could use UPNP to do peer-to-peer file transfers of unlimited size, where firewalls permit. That would especially rock say when I'm at my friend or neighbor's house and we are on the same WLAN so no firewall/NAT traversal would even be required.
Wait, sending Multiple Pictures???
Wow I just post earlier tonight on their BBM Channel that the size limit needs to be increased.

It's about time
2671D7D7
Who's the idiot that originally thought that was okay. Why is Chen the first person to do something about it. It has been crappy like that for years!
My BBM wish-list:
** BBM Message Delivery (D/R):
-> Messages are sometimes delayed on iPhone BBM and Android BBM. URGENTLY investigate this and fix it! Messages should be delivered as close to instantly as possible!
** BBM-Group Chats:
-> Allow us to send pictures AND videos (or any files) directly from Group Chat window. A thumbnail of file sent should appear in the chat-window right away.
(Right now, I can't share videos! how lame. But even to share pictures, I've to EXIT Group-Chat, GO TO group album, UPLOAD a picture there, GO BACK to Group-Chat, and SEND A MESSAGE "Hey, I just uploaded a picture, check it out"!!)
** BBM-Multiperson Chats
-> Same as above. Allow us to send pictures AND videos and other files directly from MULTIPERSON CHAT-WINDOW.
** BBM Emoticons/Emojis
-> I like BBM Emoticons/Emojis. But when you actually send them, they are TOO SMALL. They need to be much bigger (probably twice the size) to be fun. If you send similar looking emoticons, it's hard to tell which emoji is which in a message!
-> When I am typing a message and want to insert emoticon, I am only able to insert ONE emoticon at a time. As soon as I select emoticon, the emoticon drawer closes. Then I have to open it again and insert another emoticon. Keep the damn emoticon drawer open! So, I can insert MULTIPLE emoticons quickly!
(whatsApp already does this)
** BBM File Transfer
-> BBM File transfer limit should be REMOVED altogether.
** BBM CHAT HISTORY
-> Allow me to DELETE chat history with one particular contact, instead of having to clear chat history for everyone/whole of BBM!!
** BBM PICTURE sending
-> By default, it sends low-res picture. You've to LONG-PRESS to request "HIGH QUALITY" version. Many users don't know this. Maybe when a picture is received, show a text-link "request high quality picture" (instead of having to LONG-PRESS thumbnail). So that it's more obvious.
-> When I select multiple pictures, allow me to share them with BBM contact or BBM Group or BBM Multiperson chat. Right now, I can send only ONE PICTURE AT A TIME. But I often want to send MULTIPLE PICTURES at a time. Allow me to select MULTIPLE pictures and then send them all at once.
(WhatsApp already does this!!)
I second on all of that!
BBM is catching up guys, more features & optimisations coming. sit back & enjoy the ride, BBM WILL RISE! GO #BBM4ALL #BBMamplified!!!
+1000
Posted via CB10
+10000
- more emotions
- video calling for everyone
- option to increase emotion display sizes. ( selecting them is fine but when they display in the text they are way too small)
-timers/restriction settings on send a pic like snap chat. Call it (pop-a-pic)
- AND OMG LET ME DELETE MY DRUNK BBM MESSAGES! ASAP!
I 3rd most of that & would like to add a request of my own.
The ability to send a msg in a group & be able to tell who's read it & who hasn't. This usually isn't needed but sometimes in work environments you need to make sure your co-workers got the msg. With BBM focusing on the enterprise I think it's important they add this feature

What would be nice is if they added the ability for iPhone users to send files other than pictures. Current my wife can't even send me a less than 6mb video file and has to use MMS... how sad is that?

Thanks Bla1ze
Yes! Finally... can't wait.
Posted via CB10 [URL="bbmc:C00267AE1"] Aquarium Animals [/URL]
Hopefully they will do the same thing for videos like they did with the images. Send out a very low res image first and then if they want the highest quality then they can request it. Probably add a wifi notice if on LTE just to make sure it doesn't eat up our data.

They need to give the option whether to send low/high res picture or not require approval to have the HQ version. The low res pics just don't look good.

So removing the limit or making it 50mb is reasonable. But if the want to please their customers. Removing the limit is their best option

Awesome. Was disappointed by this in bbm 2.0. Even 15 megs is gold.

Q10 \m/
6MB is not bad... at all...
Posted via CB10
6MB isn't even 2 secs of video. The limit is TERRIBLE, hence it's removal.
Glad to see that BlackBerry® "hears" us :) I sure been telling em.

Now the only thing left is that it sends high quality pictures, or at least compressed in high quality. Cause right now when I send pictures I rather use WhatsApp, I don't want to be telling people, "tap and hold the picture and request for higher resolution version" every time I send a picture.

This!!

and on my Q10 (on T-mobile at least) it sends low quality images via MMS also. The only way I get around is by taking a screenshot of the original image. The screenshot (which is PNG) is sent high quality via MMS.
I want that option. You should be able to set it by default to accept & send HQ pics. Or to keep it as is

when your BBM fellow recieves the compressed image, he can long press it and request HD image ... the best of two worlds, as usually compressed images are fine enough, then if you want them HD, it'll be on request only and save both data usage if they wish to ...
More signs of BlackBerry hearing and acting on customer complaints.
Posted with my Q10 running 10.2.1.1925.
It needs to be set at like 50MB or something, also, maybe allow sending folders, that would be insane!!!!
It's not about being good, it's about beating the competition.
Make stuff attract outsiders.

Yeah, or remove the limit altogether.

Yeah, Bluray/DVD rip "torrentz" via BBM now?
50megs sounds reasonable to me. And include all common media file types.
Zzzzwiped from a Zedevice....
Including ripped songs..

Agreed, or lower the minimum camera resolution of 720p to 360/480p, would help a lot too.

+1 we need to have a resolution reducing prompt option for video and photos in BBM.

BlackBerry listening to it's customers, amazing, once again.
In all honesty though, the 6MB limit was a no brainier, should have been removed a loooooooooong time ago.
@blaze , hey blaze how about suggesting to
Remove the ping restrictions and the ability to copy personal messages like before and improve the quality of the display picture -I'm not sure why but whenever I display a picture the picture seems of lower quality! And finally if they could add the option to send multiple images or attachments that'd be great !

@papadesaoud you mean if you send/receive a picture and view that in BBM it's of lower quality? That's correct, it is reduced in size. If you've received a picture and want it to look better, long-press is and press the HQ icon, you will then request a High Quality version of that image. Transfer has to be approved by the sender, which makes some sense as both your data plans are being charged if not on wifi. On the other hand, as I'm on a 6GB plan, I'm not that concerned with pictures of 1-2MB and AFAIK there is no option to change default quality of pictures in BBM to HQ (which might be hard on the one receiving them).
As them about multi-person chat file sharing

That would seem to be a must have feature for eBBM to make it a useful tool in corporate / gov dept's so I would think they'll be working on that as well for consumers.

Maybe that's their intention, increase the size and allow for short Video Messages, like we can do with Audio now.... this would be HUGE...
I have been screaming about it since the down of time. Hopefully its will be raised significantly, not by small margin.
Blackberry isn't even ready with video compression tools to assist at any size, I have family that upload 2-3 mins of video with What's app and I can't even upload anything reasonable. I was hoping for more than 16 MB and a compression tool built in...but oh well
They've heard you. For you the, limit will be diminished to: 0.6 kb. No bad at all! :)
Agreed. Email limits are around 15 to 25 MB. Anything more and you should probably use a file transfer app.
It's the limitation of the technology. Nothing more. Emails are text messages. Someone hacked sending attachments on top of it, it means base 64 encoding etc.

Dude people want one messaging solution. No one wants to use 3 different apps to vet stuff done. Which gets messier when you talk about cross platform. If BBM is going.to take off I need to know when I meet a random with BBM and want to send them a file (video,pic or otherwise) I can get it done
Not bad....are you serious? 6MB's is horrible!!!!
Posted via CB10
As I said it is not bad... in fact, it is still better than nothing... at all...
Posted via CB10
Having a 6mg limit is totally worse then nothing at all because now you have an option to send stuff but everything is over the limit. Listen I've tried to turn people on to BBM. Mostly young power users that just want quality all in one messaging solutions. If you are going to go across platform you have to have features that out do mms and a notification when a text is read isn't good enough. 6mg limit makes BBM look worse then no limit at all
