Due to weak BlackBerry operating system, BlackBerry has completely switched to Android in 2016 and will continue to introduce a number of Android phones. However, Wall Street analysts generally agreed that it will be BlackBerry phone last time, if sales remains weak, the BlackBerry will completely abandon the hardware business, transform into a software and services company. By then, the BBM BlackBerry will play a more central role.

加拿大黑莓在智能手机市场遭遇滑铁卢，其在消费者市场所剩下的最有价值资产就是黑莓移动聊天工具BBM（“黑莓信使”），BBM在全球仍然拥有几亿人活跃用户。日前，该产品跟随同行的节奏，推出了视频通话功能。

由于黑莓操作系统实力不济，黑莓已经彻底转向了安卓系统，2016年将会继续推出若干款安卓手机。不过华尔街分析师普遍认为，这将是黑莓在手机领域的最后一次努力，如果销售继续疲软，黑莓将彻底放弃硬件业务，转型为软件和服务公司。届时，BBM将会在黑莓扮演更加核心的角色。

据美国科技新闻网站PCWorld报道，黑莓日前宣布推出视频聊天功能，名为“BBM Video”。目前暂时处于测试期。

目前视频聊天暂时面向美国和加拿大地区用户推出，安卓版要求用户安装安卓4.4及以后的版本，iOS则要求8以上的版本。大约在七月份，全球其他市场的BBM用户，将能使用视频聊天。

BBM的视频聊天也是跨平台的，安卓用户自然也能够和黑莓、苹果用户相互聊天。

BBM最初是文字聊天工具，2014年，BBM开始支持语音聊天。而在移动聊天领域，支持视频通话早已不是新鲜功能，黑莓此举仅仅是追赶其他同行。

值得一提的是，在智能手机业务遭遇失败的背景下，黑莓最近开始投入更多资源提升BBM，不久前，黑莓宣布将BBM的许多收费功能转为免费提供。

BBM虽然进入市场较早，但是在全球移动聊天热潮之中，BBM出现了落后的态势。Facebook旗下的Messenger、WhatsApp，中国的微信、苹果的iMessage、日本的Line、以及美国的Snapchat等都在快速发展用户，其中Facebook一家公司的两个产品，就已经拥有将近20亿人的全球活跃用户。

据悉，在印度尼西亚等黑莓手机传统市场，BBM拥有大量的活跃用户。

有分析认为，无论是在智能手机还是移动聊天，黑莓公司的保守僵化和动作迟缓，导致其局面进一步陷入今天的被动。
