RIM has just released an update to BlackBerry Messenger. We have seen numerous updates of BBM in the BlackBerry Beta Zone and now RIM has rolled out v6.2.0.44 as the official version. This version of BBM includes the following changes:
- Enjoy a new selection of Animated Avatars
- Send Voice Notes more easily back & forth – streamlined Voice Notes allow you to set your convenience key to BBM, highlight a contact (or while in a chat), press the key, record and send.
- Simpler way to change your Name & Personal Message – click on profile and start updating inline.
- Tagging is now even quicker – BlackBerry Tag enhancements allows for automatic invitations and accepting within BBM.
- Improved Contact Search – search will ignore special characters and emoticons to pull up all relevant contacts.
As always, BBM is available for free in App World. Just refresh App World on your BlackBerry or hit the link below to get the latest version.
