What BlackBerry Hub+ Services does on an Android phone
BlackBerry Hub+ Services is the background layer that other BlackBerry Hub+ apps depend on. It does not usually work as a standalone tool; its job is to handle the data and connections those apps share. The listing says it adds security and productivity to those apps.
It suits people who already use BlackBerry Hub+ apps on Android, and organizations that deploy those apps to employee phones through Android for Work.
Syncing and storing app data in the background
The listing says the service manages data for all Hub+ apps, with the aim of giving them secure and efficient access to important data. It includes the sync logic that pulls that data from the Internet, so the apps stay current without a manual refresh.
Because the sync logic is shared, each Hub+ app does not need its own copy of it. The listing does not describe which data types are synced, so the scope is only what the developer states.
Moving between BlackBerry apps with common menus
Common menus let you open an item in one BlackBerry app from within another. The listing presents this as a more consistent experience across BlackBerry apps.
The listing gives no further detail on which items can be opened this way or which apps are included.
Work and personal use on managed Android devices
The service fully supports Android for Work deployment, which lets an employer manage work apps on a phone. When an administrator enables it, it can combine personal and work views in the Hub+ apps while keeping the stored data for each strictly separate.
Unifying the views is optional and controlled by the administrator, not by the individual user. Without that setting, the listing describes no combined view.
Finding Hub+ apps and Inside BlackBerry updates
The service lists the BlackBerry Hub+ applications, so you can see what is in the family. It also links to Inside BlackBerry, where the developer announces what is coming next.
Those announcements are the developer's own news. The listing does not say how often they are published.
