New in this release

Introducing BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1
BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1 introduces powerful new features designed to boost your productivity, such as BlackBerry Blend, BlackBerry Assistant, and Battery Saving Mode. It also introduces updates to existing features, such as Instant Actions in the BlackBerry Hub, Meeting Mode in the Calendar app, and automatic suggestions in the Camera app.
BlackBerry Blend
The power of BlackBerry, now on your computer and tablet! With BlackBerry Blend you can access and use your work and personal email and instant messages, files, and certain apps on a computer or a tablet the same way you would use them on your BlackBerry device.

BlackBerry Assistant
The BlackBerry Assistant app makes it even easier for you to multi-task using your BlackBerry device!
With the BlackBerry Assistant app, you can perform a variety of everyday tasks by talking or typing in natural language. When you say or type a request, the BlackBerry Assistant app can perform your request, search your device, or search the Internet, and provide a response.
Using the BlackBerry Assistant app you can start a BBM chat, make a phone call, send an email message, or add an event to your calendar. You can also update your status in social networking apps, and search for directions, weather forecasts, information about restaurants or shopping, and more.

Updated look and feel
Splashes of color, flattened buttons and screen layouts, and new wallpaper and icons – these are some of the elements you will notice with the fresh new look of BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1.
Modernized visual elements help you navigate your BlackBerry device and improve your productivity within apps. In the apps installed with the BlackBerry 10 OS, the action bar at the bottom of the screen uses color to highlight the next, or next best action. Icons for key tasks remain visible in the action bar to help you stay productive and get work done. In some apps, for example Adobe Reader, the action bar disappears when you scroll, giving you a full-screen view of the content.
On the home screen you can see your open apps, and when you swipe left you can see all your apps. By default, when no apps are open, the home screen displays only your wallpaper. Also, there is no restriction on the number of apps you can add to folders on the home screen.

Android apps
Get apps and games designed for Android devices and install them on your BlackBerry device from the Amazon Appstore!
Your device uses BlackBerry Guardian to check the integrity of the Android apps you download to your device. BlackBerry Guardian can warn you if the app is potentially harmful to your device or data, and gives you the option to cancel or continue the installation.
Android apps that you download to your device are closely integrated with the BlackBerry 10 OS. When you tap the share icon in an Android app, you can share the Android app content with contacts that are associated with other apps on your device (for example, BBM contacts) or share the information with another app (for example, the BlackBerry Remember app). Also, on the Accounts screen, you can view accounts that are associated with some Android apps that you download to your device.

Battery
Improvements have been made to the BlackBerry 10 OS to help improve the life of the battery in your BlackBerry device so that your device is ready to perform when you are.
Battery Saving Mode lets you set options to conserve battery power. By default, when your device is in Battery Saving Mode, the device reduces the brightness of the screen and doesn't turn on the screen when it receives notifications.
You can also turn off the Run When Minimized app permission so that when you minimize an app it doesn't continue to consume battery power.

BlackBerry Hub
With a single tap, BlackBerry Hub Instant Actions let you quickly sort and manage messages in the list view of the BlackBerry Hub! From the BlackBerry Hub, you can file sent email messages, set how frequently an IMAP account syncs with your BlackBerry device, download and save all the attachments in an email message with a single tap, delete the text of the original email when you reply, and automatically save a draft version of an email message by leaving the BlackBerry Hub.
In the BlackBerry Hub, you can also set the amount of content that is downloaded in your email messages when your device is connected to the wireless network and while roaming. You can view preview text for each email when you use the Conversation display style, forward a PIN message as an email, and set separate automatic replies for your internal and external contacts.
The BlackBerry Hub has been updated to improve the relevance of suggested contacts. The BlackBerry Hub suggests contacts that are associated with the email account you are sending the email from and contacts that you have communicated with in the last 60 days.

Calendar
The Calendar app now has an Agenda view and a Meeting Mode feature. The Agenda view lets you see your appointments and tasks for the week. The Meeting Mode feature automatically changes the notification behavior of your BlackBerry device when the device detects that you have a meeting or an event scheduled in the Calendar app. For example, you can set Meeting Mode to automatically turn off all notifications or notify you for phone calls only when you are in a meeting. When the meeting ends, your notifications return to your normal settings.
Reminder notifications for events in the Calendar app have a fresh new look! From an event reminder, you can notify the meeting organizer that you will be late, locate the meeting using BlackBerry Maps, set a custom snooze time instead of the default snooze time, or join a conference call. If you have multiple events in your Calendar that start at the same time, all of the events display in one reminder notification.
The Calendar app is more closely integrated with the BlackBerry Remember app. You can create a task in the Calendar app, and view that task in both the Calendar app and the BlackBerry Remember app.

Automatic suggestions allow you to focus less on the Camera app and more on capturing the moment! And, if you take a picture using Time Shift mode, you now have the option to save the picture and edit it later.
The Camera app also has new menu options. You can create a panoramic image, and you can set a higher frame rate (60 fps) when recording a video, which is useful when recording fast-moving objects.
