5 Reasons to Avoid GBWhatsApp and Use WhatsApp

GBWhatsApp is one of the most used mod versions today. It is hugely popular among us and millions of people use it. But, it is highly risky to use GB WhatsApp and today I will tell you 5 reasons to avoid GBWhatsApp, FM WhatsApp, YoWhatsApp and others.

What is WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is a free instant messaging application owned by Meta that also runs Facebook and Instagram. It is a cross-platform messaging app where people can send and receive text messages, images, and videos, send money, make voice and video calls, share live locations and so on.

WhatsApp is hugely popular and it has more than 500 crore downloads on Google Play Store. WhatsApp was launched in January 2009 by Jan Koum and Brian Acton who are the founders of it.

What is GBWhatsApp?

GBWhatsApp is the most popular WhatsApp mod version that has some significant privacy features that WhatsApp doesn’t provide. There are a lot of developers who have their own GBWhatsApp version but HeyMods and AlexMods are the two most successful GBWhatsApp developers.

Why you should not use GBWhatsApp?

There are a lot of reasons to avoid GBWhatsApp but some main reasons are these –

1. Security Issue

GBWhatsApp is not by the official WhatsApp team. A third-party developer modified WhatsApp APK as per need and distribute that. Meanwhile, there is no guarantee of the safety and security of your phone and your data. It may contain malicious programs that harm your phone if you download it from the wrong source.

Security is one of the main reasons to avoid GBWhatsApp or any other mod apps. Some time ago, a person reported on social media to stop using FM WhatsApp because it contains some viruses in it.

2. Your account might be get banned

For the last some days, many people reported in HeyMod’s Telegram group that their account got suspended and banned by WhatsApp because they are using GBWhatsApp. After this, the HeyMods team made an announcement they are stop developing the app.

So, this is clear your account may be banned anytime by WhatsApp if you use GBWhatsApp and not will help you if your account is suspended. WhatsApp warned before about this.

3. Privacy Concerns

Privacy is one of the top serious matters when it comes to personal things. WhatsApp has one of the best security and privacy End-to-End encryption. But, if you use WhatsApp mod then there is no guarantee about your privacy. Your information may be leaked online or your device may be hacked by a hacker. Who knows?

4. Annoying Ads

The most modified version of WhatsApp like GBWhatsApp, OGWhatsApp, YoWhatsApp, and FMWhatsApp has in-built ads that are so annoying. You will find too many ads on the WhatsApp home page and chat. This makes us irritated and gives us the worst user experience.

Some application by AlexMods does not have ads in them, and you can find more about them here. See, I don’t recommend you to use any GB WhatsApp but if you want then use it at your own risk.

5. Contain Virus

GB WhatsApp is not on the Google Play store which means we have to download it from a third-party website. So there is no guarantee about how secure they are. Many times you will get some viruses in the APK file that will harm your mobile phone. So, always be away from fake websites and make sure you download android apps from trusted websites like mpatel.org and actualpost.com.

Conclusion

When it comes to features, then GBWhatsApp is better than the original WhatsApp but this may permanently ban your WhatsApp account. It is also bad from a privacy and security point of view. It is unsafe to use GBWhatsApp and any similar third-party WhatsApp mod application. So, if you really care about your privacy then you should avoid GBWhatsApp.
