After a successful launch of BBM by BlackBerry last week for Android and iOS platforms, BlackBerry will offer some new features to BBM users on Android and iOS, reported Business Standard.

BlackBerry plans to offer video calling and voice calling services to its users in the coming months. Also, it will introduce BBM Channels, which will be a new community building service to connect BBM users even more broadly.

A statement from BlackBerry said, "After the amazing launch of BBM on Android and iPhone devices, with more than 10 million downloads in the first 24 hours, BBM has now ended its first week with more than 80 million monthly active users, including over 20 million new users on Android and iPhone devices.”

During its first week, BBM was the top free overall app in 35 countries on Google Play™ and in 107 countries in the App StoreSM and continues to maintain a strong position in key markets such as Canada, the US, the UK, Indonesia and much of the Middle East, to name a few.
