BlackBerry announced during the BlackBerry Live event in Florida, that its popular BBM will be released for iOS and Android for free.
BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins said, "The BB10 platform is so strong and the response has been so good that the time is right for BBM to become an independent mobile messaging platform."
iOS 6 and Android ICS and above will be supported. Initially the non-BlackBerry users will only have a limited version of the BBM with only chat. New features like BBM channels, screen sharing that came with BB10 will be made available to non-BlackBerry users in the later versions.
BBM's availability on the Play Store and App store depends on the approval from Apple and Google.
