They finally had some good news – BlackBerry Messenger was a hit on iOS and Android. Unfortunately, the good news was short lived as they have now delayed the official release.

BlackBerry on Saturday hit pause on the rollout of iPhone and Android apps for its popular BlackBerry Messenger mobile social messaging service after an unreleased version of the Android app was posted online.

That version saw 1.1 million active users in the first 8 hours, the company said, but the unofficial version “caused issues,” which the company continued to address throughout the day.
