- BBM Channels – Gives you access to real conversations happening between people, brands and communities.
- One-Click Sharing – Self explanatory really, simple one-click to share photos, docs and more.
- DropBox Integration – Quick and easy access to your Dropbox account through BBM for fast file sharing and linking.
- Location Sharing – Powered by Glympse, you can share your location to your BBM friends if you choose to.
- New Emoticons – 100 new emoticons have been added in the app.
The update for BBM 2.0 isn’t quite live yet, at least not at the time of this posting, but it is scheduled for release later today. If you have and use BBM now, be on the look out for the update to hit your device. If you uninstalled it, or never installed it in the first place but might like to try it out, the little button below will take you straight to the app in the Play Store
