BBM 1.0.26 — clearer monthly plans and everyday workflows

App release covered: October 19, 2026. This is separate from this page's publication date.

Platform-status correction — October 19, 2026. The official Google Play listing now has October 19 release notes describing redesigned screens, record review, grouped employee bills and guided setup, with improved passkey sign-in and clearer profile-verification recovery options and Verify & open BBM/manual-code verification. Android's internal build number and full feature parity have not been independently verified. iOS 1.0.26 and web build 81 remain confirmed.

Home, Plan, Records and Settings have been redesigned while preserving BBM's original logo and green and sky-blue identity. Arabic and English readability has improved. The monthly view makes expected income, planned expenses and planned remainder easier to distinguish. These figures are planning estimates, not a bank balance. Home and Plan now use a consistent record selection.

Guided setup leads from income to expenses to a first plan, with paths tailored to employees and self-employed people. For employees, bills are grouped by date with a count and total; selecting a date opens the bills in that group. Records include edit and delete confirmation, with Needs review flags and a direct way to repair affected records.

Sign-in improvements include passkey-session compatibility, clearer biometric handling, and Back to sign in or Sign out when profile verification fails. Newly requested Verify & open BBM emails support the web/browser handoff, with manual-code verification available as an alternative. Apple and Google users can keep the supplied name and email or enter different first and last names. Optional missing profile details can be completed after sign-in or dismissed so the user can continue. Help is searchable.

The intentional introduction delay has been removed and loading simplified. Simple mode focuses on everyday monthly planning; Advanced mode supports forecasting and comparison. BBM's website also has budgeting guide collections in nine languages. That website coverage does not mean the app interface is available in nine languages.

For a general check-in routine, use the existing monthly budget review guide. The articles below explain the app-specific update.
