Having once dominated instant messaging conversations across the planet, BlackBerry Messenger or BBM is closing down its consumer operations on May 31.
“The technology industry… is very fluid, and in spite of our substantial efforts, users have moved on to other platforms, while new users proved difficult to sign on,” explains current developer Emtek in a blog post.
If you’re still using BBM, you’ll need to download any your photos, videos and other files you’ve shared before the service shuts down for good.
After May 31, the apps will no longer work and you won’t be able to access your conversation histories.
