First software update for BlackBerry PRIV now available





The Blackberry Priv is the first Android smart phone for Blackberry. If you want to force the phone to check for it, head into Settings About phone System updates and it will check the servers. BlackBerry has even adjusted the camera's processing to improve image quality in low light situations and 16:9 photo support has been patched in as well. BlackBerry has detailed that the first to get the update will be those who purchased the Priv through the BlackBerry store. 





Software update for BlackBerry PRIV now available


The BlackBerry Priv is now being treated to its first software update, so it's good to see BlackBerry showing commitment to this idea. Hub and Contacts will get WhatsApp and DTEK by BlackBerry will have more notification options. If you purchased your Priv directly from BlackBerry through ShopBlackBerry, you can update today, but if you purchased your Priv from a carrier, you'll have to wait until December 7. 





There is also enhanced security in the latest version of the Priv software including the latest Android security patches. What the update brings is an improvement for the camera, overall performance, stability, and security. I believe that by the end of this week everyone should receive the new update. Connect to a Wi-Fi network before downloading the update, in order to avoid unnecessary data charges. Once the update file is downloaded and installed, the handset will automatically restart to complete the installation process. BlackBerry announced the slider phone in September this year and it hit the shelves in early November. 





When rumours of an Android-powered handset from BlackBerry emerged, many were wondering whether the company would be bold enough to abandon its own OS to embrace the ubiquity of another rival platform? Let's see when Android 6.0 Marshmallow will be pushed out. While the BlackBerry team has said that the work on bringing the newest mobile OS to the Priv has already begun, there have been no timeline or specific plans that have been revealed.
