The company has added stickers to the BBM service, like other instant messaging apps, as well as a new BBM shop. Both the services are in beta form right now.
"We're focused on making your BBM chats more fun with the addition of stickers, available in the new BBM Shop!"
The company says that many of users 'favourite' emoticons will also be available in a free BBM sticker pack. But other than that, new stickers can be purchased and then downloaded through the new BBM shop where they are available in different packs. Each sticker pack contains 20-25 stickers relating to a theme or a character like CosCat, Gilbert's Tales, Bubble Bot and more. Some of the stickers will include popular characters from television shows or movies.
"Unlike emoticons, stickers are bolder, more beautiful images that you can add right in to your chat."
Recently on Wednesday, the company now rolled out the cross-platform messaging app to Android 2.3 Gingerbread running smartphones. The popular BBM app was earlier only available for devices running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher.
Earlier the company updated its messaging service to BBM 2.0 to bring Channels and Voice support to Android and iPhone.
BBM Voice lets the user make free internet calls to other BBM users using either Wi-Fi or the phone's data connection. BBM Channels includes a wide array of topics like products, hobbies, sports, entertainment, fashion, cars and others. The channels can be even created by BBM users based on the common interest of the community.
