What is the difference between
BBM Protected
 and
BBM Enterprise
?

Formerly,
BBM Protected
 was an added feature of
BBM
 that provided enhanced security and encryption to
BBM
 chats. Now, the protected chat experience is available in the
BBM Enterprise
 app.
If you're a current
BBM Protected
 user on
BBM
, switching to the
BBM Enterprise
 app is easy: simply download the
BBM Enterprise
 app on your device and sign in using your existing
BlackBerry ID
. All your
BBM
 contacts are added in
BBM Enterprise
 automatically.
With
BBM Enterprise
, you can chat with colleagues that use
BBM Enterprise
, or with friends and family that use
BBM
.
If you don't switch to the
BBM Enterprise
 app, and you upgrade to a new version of
BBM
, your chats will no longer be secured and encrypted by
BBM Protected
.
