The Android BBM application has today received a substantial update which includes PayPal integration and more.

The latest BBM update for Android brings several new features such as money exchange and hundreds of stickers available through the new BBM Sticker Club. Contacts will now be able to exchange cash within chat groups as long as they have a valid PayPal account; this can also be used to purchase additional sticker packs.

Smaller features include font size customisation and a new pinch-to-zoom functionality for those who have failing eyesight. Photographs can now be liked and commented within group chats, opening up a new social dynamic within the application. For privacy lovers, there’s also a neat feature where private chat members will be notified if a user screenshots the conversation.

The update is available now from the Google Play Store.
