The danger of WhatsApp Mods (aka GBWhatsApp)

Currently millions of people are using apps called "WhatsApp MODs".

Basically speaking, developers make changes in the original WhatsApp code without Facebook's permission.

The big question is that there are dozens of versions and it is impossible to know exactly if these modifications have the same end-to-end encryption that the original WhatsApp has, although they say so.

The most famous are GBWhatsApp and WhatsApp Plus. The point is that as it is very easy to download WhatsApp GB, people download without worrying about the security of their devices.

Facebook can see everything

The WhatsApp Mods developers tell that their applications are safe and have the same end-to-end encryption that the original WhatsApp has. But, Who can guarantee?

For example, in 2019, Facebook even banned thousands (or perhaps millions) of users who used these versions.

So, how the MOD Apps are using the same database of the original, off course the Facebook knows exactly who are using a modification app.

The advice is this: don't use your main account to test these applications. After all, have you ever stopped to think about what a nuisance it would be if you were banned by Facebook on your main account?

What are the advantages of WhatsApp Mods?

Despite the questions described above, many still continue to use the modified WhatsApp applications. The reason is quite simple: the features.

That is the reason, considering this, we have separated below the main functions that most MODs have:
