Frequently asked questions

Does BBM still work?

No. The consumer version of BlackBerry Messenger was discontinued in May 2019, and the enterprise version was retired later. Nothing about it functions today, and old PINs are dead.

What is the difference between BBM and WhatsApp?

BBM was tied to BlackBerry hardware and identified you by a PIN rather than a phone number, and it showed both delivered (D) and read (R) receipts. WhatsApp is cross-platform, uses your phone number, and largely replaced BBM once BlackBerry lost market share.
