Bumping up the version number to 1.2.0.10, BlackBerry Messenger has added 16 new emoticons, a new invite screen, and improvements to the notifications. Here’s the complete changelog:
- Improved notifications: View a message preview outside of BBM including the sender and chat content.

Over the last few updates, the app has become speedier, and has tightened its privacy and security by giving users more control over what they want to share and with whom they want to share it with.
