Update: As expected, no future rollout of BBM coming pre-loaded on LG Android phones in Canada.

Future upgrades for both BBM for Android and iOS will bring BBM Channels, BBM Voice and Video calling. The app itself is available to those who have OS 4.0 or higher and brings the ability to send quick messages (individual or group), plus share pictures, calendar events and files. We’re extremely pleased that LG Electronics will help bring their customers a more seamless experience with BBM by preloading the app, starting with the G Pro Lite in key markets.”Īccording to the latest stats on Google Play, BBM has over 10 million downloads and has over 80 million users worldwide. The first device that will feature the messaging app is the LG G Pro Lite, which is sold “in markets around the world.” No word on LG Canada adopting this strategy it seems to be more directed to emerging markets.Īndrew Bocking, Executive Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry, said, “People across the globe are using BBM to connect with each other and the enthusiasm has been phenomenal.

BlackBerry has announced today that they’ve struck a deal with LG to preload BBM on some upcoming Android smartphones.
