BBM or Blackberry Messenger used to be isolated to the use of Blackberry phones and was a key factor to a lot of us buying phones. Recently however, Blackberry made BBM available to Android as well as iPhone users and thus increasing it's usage to a much larger audience. Now due to Blackberry's newfound easing of BBM restrictions we can also enjoy it on our PCs whether we using Windows or a MAC OS! Once again in 2 easy steps!

So how do we use this on our PC? Well would you believe it only take 2 simple steps and you're done? Yup it's that simple and here's how:

1. Download and Install Bluestacks*

*Blustacks is an Android Phone emulator for the PC

- Download Bluestacks for XP, Vista Win 7 / 8 HERE
- Download Bluestacks for MAC OSX HERE

 

2. Download BBM APK

Download BBM / BLACKBERRY MESSENGER APK HERE

Once the BBM APK is downloaded to your PC, double-click on the icon and Bluestacks will immediately pick it up and install it into the program. It's really that simple!

It may be important to note that you may also add BBM to Bluestacks via the Google Play store but the way we described here worked better for us. Once BBM is setup you may want to add a new BBM pin because it may delete all your previous messages, though the advantage would be that it would automatically add your contacts. Now at least you won't lose touch with the contacts you already have or need a new pin if your phone should no longer work.

HAPPY CHATTING!
