BlackBerry's introducing a $1 privacy subscription for folks who continue to useMessenger (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/06/bbm-chats-help-bust-brazilian-corruption/) on iOS, Android and its own platform. It will totally replace the old "timed and retracted messages" option, with "private chat" feature as its main draw. Private chats strip everyone's name and icon in that window and automatically disappear after a certain period of inactivity to protect people from busybodies who love going through someone else's phone and -- hurts to admit they exist, but they do -- backstabbers. In addition to private chat, the subscription also gives users the power to edit messages and includes the old timed and retracted messaging features.
