I’ve recently had 3 notifications from PayPal via Messenger but I can’t open them and the just say “attachment unavailable: this attachment may have been removed or the person who shared it may not have permission to share it.” Any ideas how to fix this issue because everything I’ve read suggests this is a PayPal issue, not something to do with my settings. I’ve previously had Messenger notifications just fine. Thank you 😊

I have this problem starting on 21 August 2021. Previously it worked fine. I have checked my notifications setting in PayPal. I’m looking for advice and hope tech support notes this issue.

I just opened a help session and PayPal said this: Welcome to PayPal Messaging. I understand how important it is for you to know what's happening with the Facebook Messenger app. Thank you for letting me know about it, I will definitely do my best to assist you. We apologize for the inconvenience but this action is currently impacted by a known issue on our end. That means that you are not the only one experiencing this. We do not have an estimated time of restoration yet but rest assured that our system engineers are currently working on to resolve it the soonest possible. What I can advice is to check Messenger from time to time so if ever it will get fixed, you can be able to use it once again. Thank you for contacting PayPal and for being a valued customer. If you have no further questions, you may close the conversation by selecting End Message.

Since there have not been any updates, I bet they aren't too concerned. In my opinion.
