New BBM beta for Windows Phone comes soon with a whole lot of new features

According to the official Blackberry report, the newest BBM beta for iOS, Android and Windows Phone will soon be available for the users offering them some really useful and great features with enhanced capabilities and new improved performance.

The two most significant and essential features, as the description suggests are the following:

Timed Messages

By setting a timer you can control how long messages and pictures you share with contacts can be viewed within BBM. Setting the timer is super easy: Before you send your message or picture, you just tap on the timer icon next to the text bar and choose a length of time you want the recipient to be able to view that message. The message is hidden until the recipient touches and holds on the chat. Then, once the timer has expired (or if the recipient takes their finger off the screen), the message is no longer visible. What I love about the timer is that I can move seamlessly between timed messages and normal messages in a single chat depending on what I’m sending. Oh, and don’t get any smart ideas about screen shots…if a screen shot is detected, the sender is notified.

Message Retraction

We’ve all been there, that time when you sent a message to the wrong person. Wouldn’t it be great if you could recall that message before they see it? Or maybe you’ve sent a piece of sensitive info to a contact – like your credit card number so they can buy some concert tix for you – and you don’t want that information to remain in the BBM chat it… Well, now you can retract your message to remove it from your BBM chat. Just touch and hold on the message you want to retract and choose ‘retract message’ from the menu. This one works with messages, not pictures, and is only available in one-to-one chats.

Thus, these two are probably the coolest and the most useful features that could ever be added to BBM, facilitating the messaging process enormously! These are probably the biggest wanna-haves of the users ever!

So let’s just wait and see what else may follow these improvements for now simply having a look at the official video preview available.
