Update: Nimbuzz Android v2.2.2 with Chatrooms is here. Download now!

Hi All,

Update: The following issues are now fixed:
- Arabic Chatrooms
- Create Chatroom crash
- Issues when launching Nimbuzz after an upgrade
Download the latest Android client from Google Play.

We are very excited to bring to you the latest release of our Android client. Most notably this release brings the Chatrooms functionality, which we know you all have been very keenly waiting for :) So without much ado, go ahead and start your Chatrooms experience on your Android phones and have fun chatting!

Apart from Chatrooms, there is tons of enhancements coming with this release. Here are a few of those:

Now you do not need to skim through tons to apps to find and open Nimbuzz. Use the Nimbuzz shortcut on the homescreen to launch it easily.

You can now search for friends who are already using Nimbuzz. Use the Search Nimbuzz directory feature to connect with friends on Nimbuzz. So go ahead…Search, Connect and Communicate!

Those of you who have been using the NimbuzzOut calling will appreciate the improvement we have done in the credits purchase flow. Now you can initiate a credit purchase right from the dialer. No more going through multiple options to do the same!

Another improvement you would notice and love in the calling experience is that Nimbuzz calling is now integrated with the device calling flow. You can now directly call a number from anywhere on the device via Nimbuzz.

You want to share a picture you just clicked with a friend on Nimbuzz? Now Share Multimedia content directly from the gallery(or anywhere in the device for that matter) via Nimbuzz.

And hey did i forget to mention the much improved Connectivity? I am sure you are going to love the uninterrupted Nimbuzz usage.

Go ahead and enjoy your Nimbuzz experience even more. I hope you all have as much fun using it as we had building it for you.

Send in your feedback to mukesh@nimbuzz.com.

  24. @darvish, @irani – Thanks for reporting this issue. You can download the latest version of Nimbuzz from get.nimbuzz.com or http://apps.opera.com/en_in/nimbuzz_free_calls_chat.html. Thanks!!

    Nimbuzz September 26th, 2012
  25. @abed itani – We are already working on resolving the notification issue where you do not receive a notification for any message sent by a third contact while you are in chat. However, we have removed the option of notification while you are chatting and you receive a message from the same contact because we do not want you to continuously receive a notification even when you are already chatting with that contact. Thanks!!

    Nimbuzz September 26th, 2012
  26. plz add also chatroom history option..:-P

    reza September 26th, 2012

  37. Plz include on iphone chatrooms

    usman ahmed September 27th, 2012
  38. Since the upgrade the app began to fail.

    1. Its very important: Issue where you do not receive a notification for any message sent by a third contact while you are in chat. Fix That.

    2. Its very important: When you click on the notification the conversation does not go. Just shows all conversations. The previous version was fine. Version 2.1.1.

    3. The app is very slowly since upgrade. The contacts loaded slower and conversations are very slow.

    I prefer a Nimbuzz whitout chatrooms but working as version 2.1.1.

    If you can not leave the app as it was removed those updates and put the link of the version Nimbuzz 2.1.1 that I want to install it you could not handle the upgrade plz remove the upgrape and put the link of version Nimbuzz 2.1.1 or fix that errors.

    Thx. I hope

    usman ahmed October 9th, 2012
  55. @usman ahmed – iOS inherently closes an application’s data connection once the application has been in the background for a while. This is to save on unintended data charges as well as to conserve battery. That is the reason, when you open Nimbuzz after a couple of minutes, you may notice that it is trying to connect to network becauseiOS may have terminated application’s data connection while it was in background. However, any messages sent to you will be delivered as soon as Nimbuzz is connected again.
