Before we start with the main phase, you should be aware that prior to removing BBM from mobile device, you need to delete your BBM account, which stores private data regarding your identity, password, messaging contacts, email accounts associated with the app, and conversation history. This data is provided by the user specifically when you install and run BBM for the first time on your new device.
