To coincide with the press release we told you about a short while ago, BBM has been updated to version 10.3.33.18, but as you will see below there's a few more changes introduced other than the Protected part.
If you treat your BBM like a social network you'll probably love the fact that the Updates tab has been renamed 'Feeds' - making it sound more social. A nice move BlackBerry.
The full features updated include:
- Introducing support for BBM protected
- Support for chat wallpapers in the BBM Shop
- 16 new emoticons
- Improved experience for adding new BBM contacts by email
- Updates tab is now called 'Feeds'
If you're not seeing the update just yet keep on checking. It's rolling out. In the meantime, you can check out some more screenshots below.

Globe Telecom. Philippines. Got the BBM update!
Filipino. 23. Q10 user.
Worst ever BBM update to ever hit my BB. 4 days of no BBM for me since the update. It can't open any chats. I wish at least it could allow me to delete it, or at least allow me to roll it back to the previous version. Any help to fix this will be highly appreciated.

I have the same problem BBM will open but I cannot get into chats or any other function on BBM i cannot get into the settings even. i am getting very frustrated!!!
I was just able to get it working again, you have to open up BBM go to the more menu then the shop, change your background to the red colour then it should all work again, then get into your settings at that point and rest your wallpaper it will go back to the black. I belive i was trying to use the yellow and it froze up like that. by chance was this the same thing you were doing?
Glympse no longer works from the hub... step backwards, I use it all the time

What are the troubleshooting steps that you've done so far?
Filipino. 23. Q10 user.
same here I have turned phone off 3 times and still nothing I have not a clue what to do at this point i have no BBM and its really frustrating me
I was just able to get it working again, you have to open up BBM go to the more menu then the shop, change your background to the red colour then it should all work again, then get into your settings at that point and rest your wallpaper it will go back to the black. I belive i was trying to use the yellow and it froze up like that. by chance was this the same thing you were doing?
While the upgrade did delete my chats on my BB Torch 9800 under the menu option there is a selection for "Show History". I was able to view past messages there. I'm glad the upgrade finally increase the file size on the Torch. So they plan on a super secure BBM for businesses, will there be an additional version that will be more suited for adults? The current version seems to be moving toward pre teen, teen and early twenties. Don't get me wrong they were right to design one for the younger generation, but as I near 50 years old the stickers don't really impress me. What I would like to see is more options available for BBM users. Some like the alert for new messages while within a chat and some don't. So make it a option which I might add is missing on ios. Some don't like the fact that ios and android don't stay connected. Can't it be set up to periodically ping the server in order to stay connected? Yes this will draw more power. Again it should be a option to choose to use or not to use. Another option would be to have the voice notes auto play bringing it a little closer to a PTT feature. Again it should be optional for the users. I would prefer a full featured PTT system or incorporate Zello into BBM like you did with Glympse.

Updated and didn't lose any chats. Don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but if you are in an active chat and another person sends you a message, the new chat pops up under the top bar (as opposed to above, before the update) and it has a grey scheme instead of the former black...
What is the big deal about renaming a tab to Feeds? Focus on the real benefits!

Posted from my Z30 on CB10
Would really like two things to be changed.
1- the chat boxes to become transparent so that the wallpapers can be better seen
2- the ability to select any of your own photos to be set as a wallpaper for bbm
Z10 equates awesomeness exemplified.
Did NOT delete my chats.
Posted on CB10 from my badass VZW Z30!
Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but after this update, BBM went from 'hogging' 15% of the battery (device monitor), even when it was supposed to be 'closed', to now less than 0.01%. Before, my z30 was running hot, and the battery was barely lasting a day (it normally gets 2 days).
Seems better now, at least from a resource monitoring perspective. I'll keep an eye on it.
Posted via CB10
The Fine Print: you will no longer be able to make your pins active in the comments on bbm channels
I like the new wallpaper option, that's a nice addition. Hopefully BlackBerry will add more of them, plus the ability to choose your own. :)

Got my update. No issues here. Still got my chat histories, channel subscriptions and all else.
It actually works better now. The last OS update made it a bit screwy for a while.

The wallpapers would look better if the chat bubbles were transparent like LINE messenger. Otherwise the update went fine.

hi there!
I just updated.... but i think its the same with the old one...
Got the update on T-Mobile here in NY. I'll wait to download it when I get home, over Wifi, although I have to say, I have never experience any problems loosing chats when I've upgraded in the past. From the article it the updates look good. But what ever happen to updating us to be able to attach files in Group Chats? I mean really the background are a nice little touch that have mentioned before was worth looking in to, but I think giving us the ability to attach files in Group settings is more important.

Love the new dropdown menu in the chat view, let's you view Chats by category (contacts/groups/channels).

I don't recall that colour scheme. U think this is new?
From my z30
I quite like the addition of the new emoticons and the wallpaper. I didn't loose my chats, so I can't speak on that. However it seems laggy when loading the chats with the wallpaper installed and also the font change and colours in Channels are not working so great visually. I dunno if I am alone on these issues. Btw am on a stl100-1 running official 10.2. I hope a leaked OS is not what's causing the chat lost issue..

Hey just updated the new version. All seems to be ok with the installation but that's where all the good news ends. The most serious problem that i am facing is, when i tap the box where in we are suppose to type the chat. The keyboard pops up over the box where we type the chat, so basically i cannot see what i am typing. I can still send and receives chats. But it is very annoying that i cannot see my chat while typing. Is there anyone else who has the same problem???? Currently running leakes 10.3.0.296, is that the reason for this??? Haven't bothered to check the other new features coz i cannot CHAT properly and it is getting on my nerves....

- Added wallpapers to BBM shops

So my BBM has had major issues lately and my sticker packs frequently are lost. But restoring purchases only restores 3 of my 5 packs. The toy story pack shows in my BBM shop but I have to repurchase but there was also the second set of BlackBerry emoticons (with the chef and such) that I purchased but it doesn't even show in the shop anymore. It will not restore and is not even available to purchase anymore.. was that a limited time set?

No point. Not worth updating.
Why? Because there is no added value to the average user. We really need to be able to search for contacts via phone numbers. Then let the person decide if he wish to add the contact or not.
I'm the only person who keep email addresses on their phones. None of my friends or relatives keep email addresses on their phones. So what is the point?

Renaming updates to Feeds is stupid in my opinion because how does an updated contact relate to a feed?
It's technically a feed, is it not? :)
Ask a hundred people what is a feed and them ask them what is an update and I'm pretty sure you will get a bigger consensus on the meaning of update.

Still no backup solution to properly export a complete chat history. BB10 is now out for 14 months and they are adding more toys instead of making a reliable tool out of it. :(
I posted how you can to one of your other tools. They have provided the functionality from day 1. Email the history to yourself. You may want more bells and whistles or may want a different implementation but the you can't argue there is no functionality. It is there.
Posted via CB10
As said it doesn't work properly, much data is missing. Even at Groups it doesn't show the Mail register card at 10.2.1, same goes to long chats... maybe the 64kB limitation issue of the invocation framework other apps are facing, too.
Totally agree. I wish they would focus on siginificant improvements instead of the kiddy cr@p. How about landscape mode across the board. It was in the last beta version, but not its not there. WTF.
Thanks BlackBerry; Nice update, even my video chats now seems more stable / reliable.
Wallpapers is nice addition but I love my black background.

What firmware are you exactly on? I guess I need to pass the future BBM updates as long as it is this unreliable. :(
.3175 HOWEVER, I installed from the web rather than waiting for the update which may have had an affect on it. In other words, I forced it to update vs. naturally waiting for it to filter down.
I badly need finally a function to store the chat history at a safe place before performing a update. :(
It is there. Go to the overflow menu and email yourself the chat. That way you have it saved and available.
For all chats I need save that is what I do. Work flawlessly.

Doesn't work properly. No date and times are included, only about the past 50 messages get mailed, not the full history - and images and attachments are not included in the mailed history. :-(
So it doesn't work properly. Maybe a export to XML for archivement would solve the issue until there is a more proper backup and restore solution.
My chats are slowly coming back

if you have installed the update by searching for bbm without the update showing , and opening it from appwrold itself it initially shows as empty , but just shut bbm and wait for a few seconds it starts loading chats etc back , had the sam issue
Didn't for me. I'm not on 10.3 either.
I wonder that BlackBerry doesn't pull this update. 3 of my family lost their history and now my wife is refusing to update until it's fixed.
This smacks of the text message history deletion issue with one of the first OS upgrades. I wonder if this isn't worthy of a front-page blurb?
My chats did not delete. On 10.2.1

I'm on 10.2.1 and my chats deleted only after I launched BBM by clicking on the icon. The chats were there in the Hub at first. It went through the process of associating my account in the beginning and then they were deleted.
Sounds like a extremely ugly bug. I hope someone responsible will take this serious and remove the current update from BlackBerry World before more harm gets caused! :(
It is if the chats never come back. People are reporting that they are slowly coming back.
Having said that if the chat is important then save it (by emailing it to yourself via the overflow menu) before updating.

None of mine have come back. Note that I think I was on the beta BBM previously though.
All of my chats are fine--- not deleted.
