Blackberry Suspends BBM Availability for iPhone, Android Due to Unspecified Glitch
May have to do with high demand
According to a BlackBerry blog post, the unreleased app "caused issues", that the company has been trying to resolve. The Android app has now been disabled, but customers who downloaded the BBM for iPhone app will be able to continue to use BBM.
"Our teams continue to work around the clock to bring BBM to Android and iPhone, but only when it's ready and we know it will live up to your expectations of BBM," said BlackBerry's Luke Reimer. "As soon as we are able, we will begin a staggered country roll-out of BBM for Android and continue the roll-out of BBM for iPhone."
