BlackBerry Smartphones BBM grayed andunable to remove

I want to delete BBM because it does not appear on my Playbook when bridged with my flashlight (it was, but for some unknown reason is no longer there).

I was advised to remove the BBM and reinstall, however, the delete option is simply not there, see App World or under options-device-applications.

Help please.

In your Options > device > Applications, click on the top to the lower right box for the module.

Remove BBMessenger.

Then do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.
Now, from your BlackBerry browser, download the latest version of www.blackberry.com/messenger

The last 5.0.3.22 is required for BBM on the Playbook.

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM disappeared after the 7.0.1 update

    I've updated BBM from version 7 to 7.0.1. After the reboot, I found that my BBM was gone. I checked my world in Blackberry World, to see that it is installed, but it was gone. So I had all my BBM Messages messages. Make a restore from a previous backup has not resolved the problem, 7.0.1 remained. I had to reinstall version 6 to BBM. Version 6 installation means that I've lost the BB voice that came with v7. Nobody knows where and how can I get the previous version 7.0.1. IE version 7?

    I do not work for Blackberry, but I know that BBM for iOS and Android features are limited compared to the Blackberry Version. They have only cat features, with video and voice, expected sometime next year. I hope this helps!
