"BlackBerry has confirmed that its BBM app for iOS and Android devices will receive video and voice call functionality in the near future. Executive vice president of BBM Andrew Bocking said that the cross-platform messenger service will get the additional features &amp;quot;within months&amp;quot;.   The update is rumoured to also include the BBM Channels service, which adds social networking features such as the ability to gain followers. &amp;quot;We continue to plan to evolve the service and keep making it more engaging and have more reasons why people will come back to use the service,&amp;quot; Bocking told CBC. BBM launched on iOS and Android devices last week following a month-long delay caused by the arrival of an unofficial version on Google Play. BlackBerry claims that the service has attracted more than 10 million downloads since going multi-platform. Watch a video introducing BBM below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
