GB WhatsApp 2022 - Download for Android APK Free (2023)

The MOD to have two WhatsApp accounts on your phone

GBWhatsApp is one of the best MODs for WhatsApp

GB WhatsApp is one of the best WhatsApp MODs on the market, a modded version of the world's most popular instant messaging app. The main objective of this MOD is to improve the features and functions of the original app, especially in terms of interface customization and user privacy.

What is GBWhatsApp and what is it for?

WhatsApp GB is a MOD developed by a third party and based on the original WhatsApp source code. It is a totally free service that brings together the best of the official application and other additional features and functionalities not yet available in WhatsApp.

With GB WhatsApp, you will enjoy many customization options, enhanced privacy features to prevent anyone from controlling your use of the application, and the ability to remove many of the current limitations of WhatsApp. Everything without giving up the latest features of your favorite messaging app.

GBWhatsApp functions and features

GBWhatsApp's main goal is to add new features to WhatsApp and improve existing ones. By downloading its APK, we will find the following features:

General features

• Chat bubbles similar to Facebook Messenger to be able to answer messages without leaving the application in use.

Differences between GB WhatsApp and WhatsApp Plus, which is better?

GBWhatsApp and WhatsApp Plus are two very similar applications, with almost no differences between them. This is because they are developed and maintained by the same group of people, HeyMods.

If we make a comparison between GBWhatsApp and WhatsApp Plus comparing one by one the menus available in each of the apps, they are virtually the same. And both applications weigh the same MBs, are updated at the same time, and have the same version number. At first glance, the only differences in functionality are limited to the details that the developer wants to emphasize individually in an attempt to create a unique identity for each MOD.

Now, the big difference between them is that WhatsApp Plus shares the same package name as WhatsApp (therefore they cannot coexist on the same phone), while GB WhatsApp has been named com.gbwhatsapp, so it can be installed and work simultaneously with WhatsApp, letting us use two accounts at the same time in the same device.

So, if we have to choose, we will say that GBWhatsApp is better than WhatsApp Plus.

Comparison of GBWhatsApp, GBWhatsApp Pro, and GBWhatsApp Plus: differences and similarities

Let's compare and talk about three different applications, or supposed applications, to understand how they differ and how they are similar.

Which is the official GBWhatsApp?

First of all, there is no official GBWhatsApp. The only official app is the WhatsApp Messenger developed by Meta that you can download from the Play Store, from Malavida, or even from its official website. WhatsApp GB is a MOD and therefore not official.

It is difficult to agree on who is the original author of this modified app. Throughout history, the most successful instances have been developed by Rafalense and Alexmods but as of today, the version maintained by HeyMods is the best, and therefore, the unofficially official one.

What is GBWhatsApp Pro and how to download it?

GBWhatsApp Pro is another WhatsApp MOD different from the classic GBWhatsApp, although developed by the same creators. It has the same package name as GBWhatsApp, and therefore, cannot coexist with it on the same mobile device.

GB WhatsApp Pro is a much more recent development than GBWhatsApp, something easily noticeable in the app's version number. These two MODs are very different from each other since the Pro version incorporates a unique caller ID feature that lets users name any incoming call. Otherwise, the functions are very similar if not identical, and the Pro label only serves to add value to the name of the app but not to its features.

This MOD can be downloaded directly from the developer's website or through the dedicated GBWhatsApp Pro page on Malavida. Note that to install it, you will first have to uninstall GBWhatsApp as they cannot coexist on the same phone.

What is GBWhatsApp Plus and how to download it

GBWhatsApp Plus does not exist as such. Users often confuse the concepts of GBWhatsApp and WhatsApp Plus, creating a kind of Frankenstein called GBWhatsApp Plus. Such confusion has continued to be fed by dozens of pages eager for visitors who do not hesitate to offer the download of GBWhatsApp Plus when in fact what they provide is either WhatsApp Plus or GBWhatsApp. In short, do not try to download GBWhatsApp Plus because you cannot.

Is it safe to use GBWhatsApp? Can I get banned?

The GBWhatsApp APK we offer at Malavida is virus and malware-free as all files hosted on our servers are automatically scanned by a web service that works with over 50 different antiviruses. Even if it does not have malware, we cannot categorically state that GBWhatsApp is 100% secure. As this is an app created by a third party, the following two reasons make it impossible for us to state this with complete certainty:

1. It is known that conversations held through the MOD are stored on WhatsApp Messenger's official servers, but it is impossible to verify that they are not also hosted on other intermediate servers outside Meta, so the privacy of messages could be compromised. This is in addition to the loss of end-to-end encryption.
2. By using GBWhatsApp Plus, you are violating the terms of use and conditions of the company so there is always the possibility of being banned from the service for a while or forced to return to the official app. Bans are a common problem in WhatsApp MODs, and although one of the latest news of GBWhatsApp is a supposed anti-ban feature, we cannot be sure that it works 100%. In fact, we know of cases of users who have been temporarily banned from the service for using this app.

How to download and install GBWhatsApp APK step by step

What's new in the latest version of WhatsApp GB 2022

GBWhatsApp is continuously being updated, not only to keep pace with the official app but also to introduce different improvements. These are the latest innovations introduced in this MOD:

• New anti-ban feature: a feature is introduced to prevent bans by WhatsApp. Still, HeyMods recommends not to overuse the MOD's extra features too much just in case.
• New stickers and themes: the latest GBWhatsApp update brings new stickers and over 100 new themes in the app's in-app store.
• New LivePic Widget tool: a feature to share unlimited photos with our closest friends.
• Caller ID implementation: it is still an exclusive feature of GBWhatsApp Pro, but its developer is gradually introducing it in this version of the MOD as well. Currently only available in Brazil, India, and Indonesia.
• Improvements in the backup of chats: one of the main drawbacks of MODs has always been the issue of backing up conversations. GBWhatsApp has introduced improvements regarding the synchronization of conversations, both to import WhatsApp chats to GBWhatsApp and to save a copy of the existing ones in GBWhatsApp.
• Bug fixes: as usual, the new version of the MOD tries to fix all the bugs and glitches found in previous versions.

Requirements and additional information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.0.3.
• This program is a modified version of the original application, developed by a third party that has nothing to do with the owner or with Malavida, who have not verified, validates or approved the latter. Downloading, installing and using this program is under the user’s exclusive responsibility, without Malavida being liable for the effects or results that may take place on your device. Neither Malavida, nor the original developer of the modified app, nor any of their trademarks have any sort of relationship with this version.
• The installation of the app by means of the APK file requires the activation of the "Unknown sources" option within Settings>Applications.
