These versions of WhatsApp have everything you are looking for but you should not use them
Table of contents:
Schedule messages so you don't forget any birthdays. Or choose different backgrounds for different chats. Or be able to hide the information you want while still seeing when a contact was last connected. Or even more emoticons and functions like sending files of all kinds in a chat. The dream of every WhatsApp user? Well, they exist. They are modifications or unofficial versions of WhatsApp that are successful all over the world.But they are also a risk for those who use them.
The Next Web medium echoes a reality that is happening in places like Africa, where these applications have become really popular. They are downloaded from web pages that have little or nothing to do with the Google Play Store Or they are even shared from mobile to mobile. All this in order to enjoy a vitaminized WhatsApp experience. But you don't really need to change continents to find these types of applications.
Unofficial WhatsApp
They are applications like GBWhatsApp or YoWhatsApp. Or the best known in Spain and Europe: WhatsApp Plus. Tools that take advantage of the structure of WhatsApp communications and a similar operation, but in which all kinds of functions have been added
Features like the ones we described at the beginning of the article, and that fulfill the best dreams of the most advanced WhatsApp users. From selfishly personalizing the privacy of your account, to having all kinds of communication tools in a group chat. Without forgetting the deletion of messages, their programming, not compressing the photos and a long etcetera. All this with the same base that we already know: register our telephone number and have a good agenda to have contacts of all kinds. Of course not everything is positive in these applications
Privacy and blocking risk
WhatsApp, the official one, already became quite resounding a few months ago with WhatsApp Plus. In fact, it forced its creator to close it legally for taking advantage of its resources and offering itself as an alternative. And he did it for compelling reasons: the security of the rest of the usersAnd it is that, in addition to the modifications and extra functions, these versions have security flaws and different problems that WhatsApp does not want to take care of.
For example, these unofficial apps do not offer security encryption like the official WhatsApp does. In other words, our data and messages could be within the reach of hackers, governments and anyone with sufficient knowledge to capture our communications. Something that not only puts the user of these versions in check, but also those who interact with them
Given WhatsApp's lack of protection regarding these modifications, and in order to heal in he alth, the company distributes bans and account blocks everywhere to those who use them. In other words, you can be left without your WhatsApp account, thus losing messages and groups, if you use unofficial applications of this messaging service.WhatsApp can ban your account for a few hours as a first notice. But you can also cancel it from the root if the use of this type of applications is repeated.
In this way, although GBWhatsApp, YoWhatsApp or WhatsApp Plus, and many others, continue to add more advanced elements, are also a potential danger for usersBoth because of the lack of security in their systems and because of the danger of running out of accounts. So you better think twice before downloading these types of applications.
