Whatsapp Set To Ban Users Of Gbwhatsapp And Other Whatsapp Clone Apps by NaijaTechGuy(m): 6:58am On Mar 18, 2019 |
I can remember making a post about the dangers of using clone apps like GB Whatsapp and the rest now Whatsapp has released an official statement concerning users of these apps and you will have no Alternative but to switch to the regular app or else. Using third-party Whatsapp applications like GB Whatsapp has become quite popular because of the features they offer. For example, you can disable the blue tick/secondary tick and even hide the fact that you are viewing other people’s Whatsapp stories, giving you the ability to stay anonymous on Whatsapp. However, the dangers they pose are often ignored by a lot. For example, these platforms could secretly store your data and that doesn’t even cover everything! WhatsApp has issued a warning against the continued use of clone apps like WhatsApp Plus and GB WhatsApp, citing security concerns as the primary reason. The Facebook-owned app will ban user accounts created in those clone platforms. According to new reports, Whatsapp is set to ban accounts of users who have been using these third-party platforms. Even though this is a temporary ban, Whatsapp didn’t specify how long the ban is going to last. However, reports claim that users would be advised to switch back to the supported Whatsapp version to lift the ban. According to Whatsapp: “If you received an in-app message stating your account is ‘Temporarily banned’ this means that you’re likely using an unsupported version of WhatsApp instead of the official app. You must download the official app to continue using WhatsApp.” https://www.naijatechguy.com/2019/03/whatsapp-ban-gbwhatsapp.html 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Good Even though they have some cool features, I have always been against those apps. There are a few things i detest about it, like the users can actually set people not to be able to delete anything from them, even when u update ur status n delete it, they still see it for 24hrs, what if a kid mistakenly updated ur status with a picture that's meant to be private on ur fone n u noticed it n hurriedly deleted it, u still keep seeing people commenting on the pix... Then ure chatting with someone, they go offline n u see 'last seen: December 2013' what's that nonsense? They should please start banning them right away 76 Likes 5 Shares |

empty threat. They've been saying this for years and nothing happen. The clone version developers are and will always be one step ahead of WhatsApp. Besides, how would they even know someone is using clone WhatsApp? 13 Likes |

I'm not against it but they should improve the standard of it to that of GB and OG. Sell or buy your funds from me at a juicy rate. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Just imagine there useless comments.... Typical of Nigerians, e-warriors, noise makers, they can carry "mata for head" like smelly fish. what will they gain from the ban? Did Those using GBwhatsapp complain? How will ban on GB put money in your account? This country self! 10 Likes |

They should simply offer the services that users crave for. Instead of allowing third party apps to take the chance. For instance why does someone has to be notified that another person viewed their profile or status. It's just another ridiculous way of telling them you are being stalked. Absurd! 10 Likes |
