It will be bidding farewell to Window Phone, Blackberry and Amazon Kindle apps by 30th June.
With the announcement of PayPal’s withdrawal one more news came up that Microsoft is cutting 1,850 jobs in its smartphone business.

PayPal has come up with his new version 6.0 which is currently supported by Android devices running OS running OS 4.03 or later and Apple devices running iOS 8.1 or higher. The latter category includes iPhone 4s or higher, iPad 2 or greater, and iPod Touch 5th generation or later.

Customers those are using old versions of PayPal mobile app on Android and iOs will have to upgrade their PayPal version to 6.0. PayPal version 6.0 has many enhanced features such as send and request money, PayPal balance and transaction history.


 Thomas Husson, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Inc., said that it's not surprising that PayPal was dumping support for Microsoft Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Amazon Fire OS.
"Publishers and developers are no longer investing in these platforms," said Husson. According to him why should it invest in platforms that are about to disappear and it makes more sense for PayPal to invest in new platforms like bots or messaging apps than on the tools of the past.


However, Window users can still access PayPal via its mobile site on Internet explorer and Microsoft Edge browsers. Also, Outlook users can also use the PayPal add-in to send money. BlackBerry users can also still send money via BlackBerry Messenger. Kindle Fire users are not left with any alternative they have to take Kindle fire support to know in details.
