PayPal retires the ability to send money via BBM, effective immediately
PayPal made quite a few announcements in the past concerning the integration of its service into many popular chat apps like Messenger and Skype. One of the apps that allowed users to send money via PayPal was BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), but that's not the case any longer.
The option disappeared from the newest BBM beta builds without any explanation, so people thought it must be just a bug that BlackBerry would address it in the final version. Unfortunately, PayPal came forward with an official statement that sheds light on the matter.
If you're using BBM, you might have noticed that the latest version that's been released a few days ago is missing the ability to send money via PayPal. Well, this option will not make a comeback according to PayPal, as the company probably wants to focus its resources elsewhere.
