BlackBerry Messenger for consumers shuts down May 31, but an enterprise version is now free for 1 year
Today, Emtek is announcing that the consumer version of BlackBerry Messenger will be retired on May 31st. The enterprise version will be free for 1 year.
There was a time in history when BlackBerry was considered one of the most innovative technology brands. Unmatched security and reliability were the key factors of BlackBerry's success. I'm sure many of you remember BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), which was built into the company's devices. BlackBerry's vanishing from the industry significantly reduced the users of the service. Emtek, which owns the rights on BBM, tried to make a comeback by implementing new modern features like payments and cross-platform support into BlackBerry Messenger. Three years have passed, and time has shown that there is no comeback story for BBM.
