PayPal - Send, Shop, Manage
About this version
PayPal ships Android updates on roughly a fortnightly rhythm, and most of them are unglamorous: fraud-defence changes, compliance tweaks, and interface adjustments. The app has been through several redesigns as the company repositions it from a checkout utility into a broader money app, so long-time users should expect navigation to keep shifting.
What recent updates focused on
- Consolidation of shopping features, offers, and rewards into the main app
- Expansion of passkey and biometric login support to reduce password phishing
- Regional rollouts of debit card, savings, and cryptocurrency features
Our update advice
For a financial app, running old versions is a bad trade. Keep auto-update on, and be suspicious of any 'PayPal' APK offered outside Google Play; fake PayPal apps are a recurring malware vector and the genuine app is free everywhere.
The authoritative source for the current version number, changelog, and
requirements is the official Google Play listing
(package com.paypal.android.p2pmobile). Read our full assessment in the
