BBMe

BBMe, short for BBM Enterprise, is a secure messaging application developed by BlackBerry Limited. It is marketed as a paid, enterprise-focused version of the former BBM consumer service and is designed to provide private, business-grade communication for organizations and government entities.

Launched as a separate offering from the consumer BBM app, BBMe is available for Android and iOS devices and is offered on a subscription basis. The product is intended for enterprise deployment, with features and administration tools aimed at IT departments controlling access, policies, and user provisioning.

Key features include end-to-end encrypted messaging, voice and video calls, secure file transfers, and group chats. Users can verify contacts’ identities and work within managed policies. The app emphasizes privacy and security as central selling points compared with consumer messaging apps.

Security and privacy: BBMe uses end-to-end encryption for communications between BBMe devices. BlackBerry emphasizes that only intended recipients can read messages, with enterprise controls for user management, compliance, and data handling.

Availability and usage: BBMe is distributed through major app stores for mobile devices and is designed for organizational licensing rather than consumer use. It competes with other enterprise-secure messaging platforms and remains a niche option used by some businesses and government customers seeking heightened security.
