BBM 2.6 Includes Android 5.0 Support, Landscape Mode, Stickers In Group Chats, And More

Version 2.6 makes BBM ready for Android 5.0, but don’t get too excited. There’s no big redesign here. The app still looks as Gingerbread as ever, it just now explicitly supports devices running the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system.

That’s not to say that the update is without visual changes. If you turn your phone sideways, the interface will now rotate to landscape mode in order to accommodate you.
