BlackBerry Ltd. has suspended the introduction this weekend of its instant-messaging platform for users of Apple Inc.’s iPhone and phones based on Google Inc.’s Android software while it fixes issues with the application.
BlackBerry Messenger, or BBM as it is more commonly known, will still work for iPhone users who have downloaded it, the Waterloo, Ontario-based company said in a blog posting. An unofficial version for Android that was posted online is at the root of the problem and has been disabled, the company said.
