BlackBerry has announced the addition of 20 million new BBM users following its launch on iOS and Android.
One week ago we launched BBM for iPhone and Android. What a week it’s been! With the addition of more than 20 million new users on BBM, we are now at over 80 million monthly active users* of BBM across BlackBerry, Android and iPhone, and #teamBlackBerry is thrilled. During its first week, BBM was the top free overall app in 35 countries on Google Play and in 107 countries in the App Store 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.
BlackBerry says it will now focus on active use of BBM, "the connections being made and the conversations in which our BBM community engages".
It also highlighted their sharing tool at http://www.bbm.com/share, which helps our users quickly add new contacts to BBM. There is also a new way to share your PIN so that Android and iPhone customers can easily click it and add you to BBM: http://www.pin.bbm.com/.

Wow, running an app from a nearly dead platform but 20 million users, what is this, parallel universe? When the day bbm death comes, what will be the point of using this anymore?

98% of users that downloaded BBM for iOS installed it, tried it and went back to texting or iMessage lol.

I saw no purpose for it. Certainly not going to let them go through my address book and send invites to everyone, they can get that from the NSA. One app I deleted.

Downloads don't equal active users

One less, actually. I downloaded it just to see how horrible it is, then deleted it. Actually my buddy did the same so two less. It's a useless app.

It's actually quite useful for people who have friends that have Black Berry phones.
