Hello @Da75,
Welcome! This is a great question. If you're concerned about which PayPal App is the real PayPal App, you can open our Mobile App page on your mobile device and click the appropriate OS version to download to your device.
If you do come across a fake PayPal app, please report it via the steps in your designated mobile app store.
Best wishes!
