BBM for iOS beta receives update

Those beta testing the BBM for iOS app should be happy to hear that an update has arrived that brings version 2.7.0.20 to users. The update includes new features and some that needed to go back to the drawing board to be improved. To have access to the beta, you need to have a Test Flight account and be signed up as a beta tester.

The new features include the ability to use the messaging app in landscape, and to delete chats with a simple swipe. The update allows users to select and delete multiple chats at one time. Choose as many as 10 pictures to share at one time during chats. And if you want to know if the pictures you sent were received by each recipient, you will be alerted with a notification once they arrive. Another notification will tell you if the pictures were read by each recipient. And lastly, the update allows you to choose new colors for the BBM chat bubbles.

There is no word when the BBM for iOS beta will go mainstream. BlackBerry's messaging app is open to iOS, Android and Windows Phone users, in addition to those sporting a BlackBerry device.
