BlackBerry today announced the rollout of the first monthly maintenance release for the Priv. Beside improving stability and performance, the update also improves the camera performance of the handset.

The 475MB update also enhances the security of the Priv and includes the monthly maintenance security patches for Android from Google.

The full change log of the update is below:

• An improved camera: We’ve implemented a number of tweaks that improve the speed of our camera app, and re-tuned it for better low-light image quality.

• Better performance: We’ve also tweaked the PRIV’s software to improve overall system performance

• Improved stability: The update further includes a number of adjustments designed to improve device reliability and reduce instances of crashing and freezing.

• Enhanced security: Lastly, the release includes December’s security patches – rest easy knowing your device is protected against the latest Android security threats.

In addition, BlackBerry will also be rolling out updates for its BlackBerry apps: Keyboard, Hub, Camera, and TEK. The update to the camera app will add new filters, while the keyboard update will add support for new languages and emojis. The Hub update will add support for WhatsApp, with the updated DTEK app now providing more notification options.
