WhatsApp is the most popular messaging platform globally. As of 2021, it had 2 billion monthly users. However, its popularity makes it a perfect platform for hackers using SIM swaps to access users’ accounts. The app also has limitations in its features. As a result, many people opt for third-party versions, which provide extra customisations.
GB WhatsApp is a modified version of WhatsApp that you can download without uninstalling. It has extra features and constantly updates functionalities for users to get a fuller scale experience.
What can GB WhatsApp do?
The latest version of GB WhatsApp offers extra themes to change the app’s appearance from its usual green. In addition, it allows users to create their own themes to change the look and feel of the app.
Your chats can also look different with varied fonts and styles instead of WhatsApp’s default Serif. Some people can change the default font of their phones using the inbuilt Themes app. But this changes the font in all the apps. GB WhatsApp is the better choice for people who want only changes in their WhatsApp chats. It also makes it easier to change chat backgrounds for every individual chat. The regular app also does this.
GB WhatsApp also provides extra security layers to boost privacy. It has two-factor authentication and PIN verification for sign-in to new devices.
It also has an anti-revoke feature that enables users to prevent others from deleting messages they’ve just sent.
You can also hide your online status while seeing other people’s online statuses. In addition, you can hide your status and last-seen information from specific contacts. You can also be notified when a person you were chatting a lot with is back online.
GB WhatsApp increases the capacity for file sharing. The regular app limits file sharing by 16MB. With the mod app, you can now send and receive files of up to 100MB. Users can also send 90 images or 10 videos. It also improves the quality of images shared.
GB WhatsApp also has an inbuilt scheduling option where you can type messages but schedule messages to be sent at the time of your choosing.
Business accounts and customer service accounts also have auto-replies for customer messages.
Is it safe?
GB WhatsApp isn’t available in the Android Play Store. Because of this, it can only be downloaded from its website. The nature of Android is that it’s open source. With the Android package kit, apps can be modified to suit user needs and are all compatible with Android devices.
Because it’s a modified version of an existing app, it doesn’t offer the same security measures as the existing app. In addition, it doesn’t have the same privacy policy. There is a higher risk of losing or stealing your data through malware. There is also no safety guarantee from the developers selling your data to third-party contractors. The app also doesn’t safeguard video calls and messages. The developers can easily eavesdrop on conversations. The modified version also doesn’t provide end-to-end encryption of messages meaning anyone can access your conversations.
The developers also created it without licensing from Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company. There are no guarantees regarding the credibility of the app. The terms and conditions also prevent its customers from using modified versions. If found out, you can get banned from using it.
GB WhatsApp is extremely popular. It’s easy to conclude that the mod app is safe because the developers create a product used by multiple customers. But the safest choice is to stick to WhatsApp.
