What's new in

BBM Enterprise

version 1.18

The

BBM Enterprise

Connected icon has been reintroduced to help ensure message delivery when device memory is low.

You can now start

BBM Enterprise

conferences from one-to-one or group chats.

Conferences are now launched from the

BBM Enterprise

app instead of the

Safari

browser.

You can now enforce complex user passcodes for

BBM Enterprise

. Additionally, IT Admins can now prevent some users from using their current passcodes and define a list of disallowed passwords.

Instead of disabling all file sharing with the Disable File Sharing option, Admins are now able to select specific types of attachments to disallow. For example, you can disable the sharing of voice notes, or media.

You can now add a disclaimer of up to 500 characters that will remain at the top of every new chat. This disclaimer is persistent and cannot be removed.

You can now prevent users from inviting contacts to

BBM Enterprise

using their PIN or email address in a

BBM Enterprise

policy. Users can still invite others using cloud directory lookup, by scanning a barcode, or from existing chats.

You can now prevent users from adding or updating their avatar in a

BBM Enterprise

policy. If you select this option and assign the policy to users, any existing avatars are changed to the default avatar that shows their initials.
