In Contacts category, you will find out that who all in your device’s contacts list are already using BBM, and can simply start chatting with them without any invite required. But both the users will not be able to see each other’s Display Picture or BBM Status unless they add each other. BBM Contacts now has a separate category, and mainly are those who are not in your phone’s contacts list but are added on your BBM.
