Alternatives to WhatsApp GB

THE WhatsApp GB It's a free application that promises everything WhatsApp has with more privacy, more fonts, themes, security...

But is that really all? When alms are great, the saint is suspicious.

And you really have to be suspicious.

The temptation is great, but the risk is greater.

Why?

Because the app is not available on the official Google Play store and is not offered for IOS.

And it can only be obtained through an APK (application package) made available unofficially on the internet.

Suspicious, isn't it?

A lot!

But let's take a chance to see with your own eyes...

What does WhatsApp GB promise?

1- Privacy
2- Do Not Disturb (turn off notifications)
3- Security (add passwords to conversations)
4- Sending large files
5- Unlimited sending of images
6- Status download
7- Themes
8- Sources
9- Multiple accounts on the same device
10- Longer Stories
11- Hidden status
12- Temporary messages
13- Translation
14- Location
15- Update through the application itself
16- Forward message to up to 300 conversations

This list of features that WhatsApp GB promises makes the eyes of any entrepreneur shine.

Because, imagine...

João has a neighborhood pharmacy that serves via WhatsApp. And he wants to have both WhatsApps (the one from the pharmacy and his personal one) on the same device.

An alternative is to use the WhatsApp Business to the business account (from the pharmacy) and the regular WhatsApp for your family and friends.

But then we have a problem:

Pharmacies are banned on WhatsApp Business!

Then, it is necessary for both of them to use the normal WhatsApp application version.

With WhatsApp GB there is the promise of being able to use both on the same device!

So it would be the solution to João's problems?

No, he would trade six for half a dozen.

because The ban is also imminent with WhatsApp GB, since it is an unofficial application of WhatsApp Business.

Why are you at risk of having your account banned by WhatsApp when using WhatsApp GB?

WhatsApp GB is an “unofficial” pirated application, in good old Portuguese, that modifies the use of WhatsApp Messenger.

And WhatsApp is currently on a witch hunt for anything that may violate its privacy, usage, or commercial policies.

Just because of piracy, should I not use WhatsApp GB?

If your conscience didn't weigh down when we talk about piracy, there's another reason why you don't want to use WhatsApp GB and I can say it in just one word:

SAFETY

By not downloading the updated WhatsApp GB from the official Google Play store, you are susceptible to sites that offer malicious applications disguised as WhatsApp GB. You can download just an app that is intended to spread, such as trojans, or something more serious like a virus for your phone.

And yes, the phone can get viruses just like a computer!

until WhatsApp GB's own website does not recommend using the application on the main number The best option, according to them, is to test with secondary numbers.

But rest assured, even if you downloaded WhatsApp GB before, it is possible to return to the previous settings of the official application by changing the WhatsApp GB settings.

What are the alternatives to features so loved by WhatsApp GB?

1- To send large files, use WeTransfer

THE Wetransfer is a free file transfer service up to 2G, where the file is available for up to 1 week. The perfect time for someone to receive and download without problems.

So you can send your files in a relaxed manner without worrying about viruses.

2- To download WhatsApp Status, use a file manager

It is enough to have a file manager installed on Android. To download the status, simply open the status and wait for the image, video, or gif to load.

After that...

In the manager:

2.1 Open the “WhatsApp” folder
2.2 Click on the “Media” folder
2.3 A “.Statuses” folder will appear.
*beware, this is a hidden folder. Then, you might need to “view hidden folders”.

And the image, that you want, is there.

3- To add a password to conversations and collaboration between several attendants, use PinkApp

With the PinkApp you can deprive a conversation. Only those inside have access to the messages. Or, in specific cases, it's possible Put a password on a conversation that you want to preserve.

But PinkApp gives you more than just security.

With PinkApp you can make your business grow more and more by investing in marketing, sales, and even support. And monitor every conversation from anywhere in the world.

So what to do?

WhatsApp GB, although it seems like a great alternative to WhatsApp because it has additional tools such as larger files, conversations with passwords, and other functions linked to WhatsApp Status, is not the best alternative, since it can Cause a ban of your WhatsApp account for violation of usage policies.

In addition, downloading an unofficial application is dangerous, because you can download it from a malicious website that may contain a virus and consequently may damage your phone.

Therefore, as an alternative, use tools that can complement the WhatsApp experience, such as Wetransfer, file manager for Android, and PinkApp.
