Developers Of Gbwhatsapp Officially Shuts It Down - Lite Tech Guide by JosWatchDog(m): 11:54am On Aug 02, 2019
GBWhatsApp officially Shuts Down: For some Android users, this may be the worst news of the century.

The almighty GBWhatsApp has officially being put to an end. GBWhatsApp is very popular and beats shoulder with the official WhatsApp.

Out of the 1billion+ people using Whatsapp, over 80million+ people use the moded WhatsApp (unofficial WhatsApp is better known as GBWhatsApp).

Earlier this year, WhatsApp INC warned users from using the GBWhatsApp as it risks their privacy. Same this year, WhatsApp started banning users of GBWhatsApp temporary.

The temporary ban issued to unofficial WhatsApp users is such an annoying one that won’t let you have a breathing space until you do away with it and install the official app.

After WhatsApp did this, developers of GBWhatsApp decided to top their game by setting up an anti-ban feature which will prevent GBWhatsApp users from being banned.

Did the anti-ban feature really save GBWhatsApp and its users?

For some time it worked, but did it still prevent the annoying WhatsApp temporary ban to take effect? NO!

Apart from the temporary ban, WhatsApp threatened to file a lawsuit against GBWhatsApp developers if they fail to bring down the platform.

What is GBWhatsApp?

Gbwhatsapp is an unofficial cloned copy of the original WhatsApp which themselves claimed that GBWhatsApp developers go against their terms of service and risks users privacy.
GBWhatsApp is used by over 80million+ people out of the 1billion users of WhatsApp worldwide.

Earlier this month, August 1st, 2019 the developers of GBWhatsApp announced the official closure of the app on their Telegram channel and will no longer give updates to the application.

According to GBModes Official on telegram, here is what they wrote:

We are really sorry to announce that we have completely stopped the development of GBWhatsApp. It was a great time with all you people. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hence we have Closed all the Site, Social Accounts, and Everything. There will be no further development.

GBWhatsApp can’t be found on Google play store because it’s not an official/authorized app.

You can only Download GBWhatsApp on third-party websites which at the end may lead to downloading of virus and other unwanted apps.

If you are a regular reader of tech news, you would understand that this war against GBWhatsApp developers started early this year and WhatsApp did not go easy on them until the needful was done.

Like is stated in my previous article, if you are still using GBWhatsApp and yet to get the temporary ban notification, worry not, you will receive yours soon because WhatsApp is sending out these bans in batch.

And if you still have the unofficial WhatsApp, henceforth, you will no longer get any update from the developers.
