How to Set your BBM Animated Avatar on iPhone

bbm-animated.com The Best Source For BBM Animated Avatars for iPhone, Android and BB10

So you downloaded the BBM App for iPhone...but you can't get your BBM avatar to animate like your BlackBerry and Android friends? 

Currently, iOS does not support setting animated GIFs from the iPhone image gallery or 'Camera Roll'. So if you are saving and setting your avatar this way - you can still use the avatars, however there will be no animation. Booooo!

But there is a way!!!!

Until BlackBerry fixes this issue you can only set the animated avatar by stealing your friends avatars from your contact list. Not the nicest solution but hey it works...

Here's How:

1. Start a chat with the friend who has a cool avatar that you want

2. Tap the header displaying your friend's name and animated avatar in the chat window 

3. In the User Profile tap on the animated avatar

4. In the BBM Display Picture preview select the arrow icon in the top right corner

5. Select the option to 'Set as BBM Display Picture' and you're done!
