BBM beta for Windows Phone has snagged an update today, bringing a whole host of bug fixes along for the ride and bumping the messenger up to version 210.0.0.9.

Here's the breakdown of what's fixed in BBM beta version 210.0.0.9:

  • Cannot open the subscribed channels from the subscribed channels (HTC)
  • Channel names are not in alphabetical order in the my channels and subscribed channels page
  • Subscribed channel not showing in channel list
  • Cannot add screenshots to add post with image
  • Message sent from WP is not received in other OS
  • Channel Invite: Both Join and Preview button in chat bubble appear in display only mode
  • Emoticons not appearing properly
  • Share post: User icon appears in the small pop-up instead of default channel icon
  • View Channel Profile: Tap for 'change avatar' image occurs when tapped on an empty space
  • Subscribed Channel Profile: "What's happening" field data is not reflected

In addition to the above bug fixes, BlackBerry notes that the latest build includes the following known issues:

  • Purchased sticker packs cannot be restored
  • Text missing in the Group Chat bubble when receiving a picture in chat from group member. The message should be "Picture shared"
  • Group pinned to home screen does not display the group's avatar
