Dangers Of Using GB WhatsApp & Other Modified Versions

Whilst the extra features are cool, there are other risks that come with these modified WhatsApp that you might need to know :

Risk 1: The messages you may share are not safe. Yes, guys, there is no guarantee that no third person will read your message. There are chances that the personal messages which you are sharing with your loved ones are passing through third-party servers.

So, it is not safe to share any personal information like banking credentials, passwords, or any other detail. So, be careful while using not only GBWhatsApp but any WhatsApp mod.

Risk 2: GBWhatsApp is more inclined to injecting virus-like Malware and Spyware because of the less secured hosted servers. These viruses can cause damage to your data, and only you will be responsible for any problem caused due to WhatsApp Mods.

Risk 3: WhatsApp mods like GBWhatsApp are not illegal, but they are unofficial. So, they are not available on the Google Play Store. It means that they are available on the web instead of the Google Play Store. So, you can face detrimental adds which makes it difficult to update your app.

Risk 4: Official WhatsApp has confined from using the WhatsApp Mods. Many people have identified using the WhatsApp Mods. The official version WhatsApp can ban you anytime if you are caught using the WhatsApp Mods. So be careful and think twice before using WhatsApp Mods like GBWhatsApp.
