New privacy update by BBM introduced message restriction and timer.
‘Retract’ a message to remove it from your BBM chat.
Some time on facebook and whatsapp we’ve all faced a problem of accidentally send a message to another person instead of right person , BBM BlackBerry messenger now improved it’s app and includes new feature to pull back your message . And I personally think that it has some thing new for BBM users , this features help you in not to feel sorry for wrong message.
Don’t you this kind of privacy ?? If you share someone a secret/ private message and have confusion in your mind that he/she can public your message , then you can pull back your message after she/he has seen it. Isn’t it good?? 😉

Oh!! great one more new feature but this time all snapchat‘s users know about it but surely they miss it in whatsapp or facebook messenger. So what’s that feature??
It is a Timer on message send by you.
oh!! but how it works ??
Just set how long your contacts have access to messages and pictures shared in chat. Isn’t it cool ??
But be aware it can’t stop users to take a screenshot of your pictures and messages .

While these features are designed to remove the message or picture the recipient’s BBM chat view, they do not prevent recipients from capturing an image of the content by taking a screenshot or using an image capture device. Retracting a message after it has been read by the recipient will remove the message from the BBM chat view, but will not affect copies of the message that the recipient may have made prior to the message being retracted.
*Note features not available on Android smartphones running 2.3.x (Gingerbread)
