BlackBerry is still slipping by the wayside with every passing day, but in an effort to stay relevant the company is still developing the once popular BBM messaging platform further to compete with the ever crowded instant messaging and video calling space with Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Hangouts, Skype, FaceTime all now offering free video calling you’d of thought the last thing we need is another video calling app but here we have it. BBM on iOS and Android now offers video calling free in addition to the messaging side. Just last week the comply revealed that the Android variant would have the feature and now the iOS version of the app does too.

However for readers here in the UK, the feature wont be added until after July. Until then only North America and Canada will have access to it in beta, following that it will be launched globally.

What do you think, would you use BBM again?
