It's been a long time coming, but BlackBerry Messaging could finally be launching on iOS and Android.
The company formerly known as Research in Motion published the manuals for BBM on iOS and Android online before promptly taking them down, reports Pocketnow.
Those who caught a glimpse say the manuals featured instructions for sending messages and voice messages and references to location services and statuses.
The site reports that screen sharing, voice communication, and video will be there eventually as well, though not at first.
All signs point to BBM
Earlier this year word was BBM would arrive on iOS and Android by the end of the summer.
It may seem unlikely, but there's still about a week left for that to hold true.
Earlier this month BBM for Android entered internal beta at BlackBerry, and in July a BB exec said it would arrive on Google's mobile OS by the end of September.
This month a press release even claimed that BBM for Android will arrive "soon" - but only on Samsung's Galaxy S4, and only in Africa.
There's been even less word on BBM for iOS, but all signs seem to point at the fact that both versions of the BlackBerry Messaging app are still on their way.
Whether anyone still cares is a different question, and one that will only be answered when it finally comes out.
