BBM 1.0.26: clearer plans and an easier everyday workflow

Now live on iOS and web

BBM 1.0.26 build 81 is live on iOS and the web. The update makes everyday monthly planning easier to follow, from setting up your profile to checking a plan and correcting a record. The iOS release is dated 19 October 2026. The matching Android update is still pending, so this announcement does not describe Android build 81 as released.

A clearer monthly picture

Home, Plan, Records and Settings have been redesigned while keeping BBM's original logo and green and sky-blue identity. Arabic and English readability has improved. Monthly expected income, planned expenses and planned remainder are clearer, and Home and Plan use a consistent record selection. These figures are planning estimates, not a bank balance.

Less friction at the start

Guided setup takes you through income, expenses and a first plan, with paths suited to employees and self-employed people. With Apple or Google sign-in, you can use the supplied name and email or enter a different first and last name. Missing optional profile details can be completed after sign-in, or you can close the prompt and continue.

Bills and records that are easier to check

For employees, bills are grouped by date with a count and total. Tapping a date shows all bills for that date. Records can be edited or deleted with confirmation, and Needs review flags provide a direct way to repair entries that need attention.

Sign-in, verification and help

This release includes passkey-session compatibility fixes, clearer biometric wording and Back to sign in or Sign out options when profile verification fails. Verify & open BBM emails support a web/browser handoff, with a manual-code alternative. The searchable Help center and clearer budgeting guidance provide another place to look when you need an explanation.

Choose the level of planning you need

Simple mode supports everyday monthly planning. Advanced mode offers forecasting and comparison. The intentional introduction delay has been removed and loading simplified. Beyond the app, the website's budgeting-guide library has nine language collections; those website guides do not mean the app itself is localized into nine languages. The app supports Arabic and English.
