A new report about Blackberry Priv has surfaced on Wednesday, saying that the device will be installed with Blackberry 10 app. Using the app, owners can transfer content from Blackberry 10 and other selected models to Blackberry Priv.
It was said that the app will save the data on the phone's media card which is available in Blackberry App World. The company said that the media card can be used in the Blackberry Priv, a report from iDigital Times said.

Your data can be transferred with password-protected encryption using Google Drive, your media card, or a private Wi-Fi network," reads an app description posted on the Blackberry App World website.
