Let's talk about 'Modded' WhatsApp

 

What is ‘Modded’ WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is an app that everyone uses these days. This app is used by almost everyone for messaging, audio, video calls as well as file sharing. In addition, some people use unofficial WhatsApp modified apps. Two such popular modded apps are GBWhatsApp and FMWhatsApp. Although popular, are these apps really good? Let's talk about that today.

GBWhatsApp

GBWhatsApp is an app that modified the original WhatsApp. GBWhatsApp has been developed by removing some limitations of the original WhatsApp and improving some features. The most notable feature of GBWhatsApp is that it allows you to use two WhatsApp accounts on one device. Other features include custom themes, hidden chat, story download, larger file sending, online status hiding, and the ability to share more than 10 pictures at once. GBWhatsApp also offers auto-reply, message scheduling and high-resolution picture sharing. Simply put, GBWhatsApp is an app that hacked the original WhatsApp. We will not be able to find GBWhatsApp in the Google Play Store, instead we will have to download it from another third party website.

Is it safe to use these modified apps?

Actually, both these GBWhatsApp and FMWhatsApp apps are illegal. These are simply clone versions of the original WhatsApp. So, using apps like this goes against the terms we accept on WhatsApp. So, this is a reason why the WhatsApp accounts used in these modified apps is being banned. Another danger is that these cloned apps have the potential to spread various malware. It has been reported that some versions of FMWhatsApp caused the spread of the malware called ‘Triada Trojan’. One of the reasons for the spread of malware in this way is the lack of a proper source to get these apps. Therefore, anyone can enter any malware and release these apps. For this reason, using GBWhatsApp, FMWhatsApp is against TOS and is a big danger to our personally. Despite the lack of facilities, it is wise to use official WhatsApp because of the above. It is not worth risking our WhatsApp account and privacy for more features.
