Staying connected with the BlackBerry Hub

The BlackBerry Hub gathers all of the messages and notifications that you receive from your different accounts into one convenient location. In the BlackBerry Hub, you can receive and respond to email, text messages, or BBM chats all in the same place, see and respond to notifications from your social networking accounts, glance at your upcoming events, and more.

Email

You can add practically any existing email account to your device—both work and web-based email.

Text messages (SMS/MMS)

If text messaging is a part of your wireless service plan, you can find and respond to your text messages in the BlackBerry Hub.

Social networking

If you add a Facebook account to your device, you can receive and respond to notifications, update your status, and send Facebook messages all from the BlackBerry Hub. If you add a Twitter account, you can compose tweets, keep on top of your mentions, and send direct messages. And if you add a LinkedIn account, you can accept invitations to connect with business contacts, send messages to your connections, and update your LinkedIn status.

BBM and instant messaging

After you add instant messaging apps to your device, you can access your chats through the BlackBerry Hub.

Calls and voice mail

The BlackBerry Hub also shows you the calls that you made and received, including any missed calls and voice mail messages.

Upcoming events

Without leaving the BlackBerry Hub, you can peek at upcoming meetings, events, and—if you add your Facebook account—friends' birthdays.

Notifications

The BlackBerry Hub also collects your notifications about new PIN messages, time zone changes, software updates, third-party apps, and more. Your service provider might send you SIM Toolkit notifications that appear in the BlackBerry Hub. Tapping on these notifications launches the SIM Toolkit app.
