Windows Phone es la última plataforma que BBM le faltaba llegar y ahora una nueva versión BETA confirma que hay interés en desarrollar sus posibilidades.
Esta semana en el Windows Store, hay un nuevo BETA del BlackBerry Messenger que debutó en verano para el deleite de ex usuarios de BlackBerry que migraron a Windows Phone o usuarios que nunca han usado BBM ni en equipos BlackBerry.
En esta ocasión el BETA trae las siguientes mejoras según su changelog:
Notification Improvements
Providing impactful notifications to users has long been one of the aspects of BBM that our users love. We’re taking that a step further in improving the BBM for Windows :ithout having to open the app
- BBM users that send their BBM for Windows Phone friends a message will now see a “D” even if their Windows Phone friend doesn’t have BBM running
- The new notification number displayed will now indicate the number of new chats (previously displayed the total number of new messages)
