The truth is that, WhatsApp cannot ban GBWhatsapp.

This is because the basic codding used in creating the apps is one and the same.
Those extra features you find in GBWHATSAPP don't really make any changes to to basic roots of the original WhatsApp.
So in this case, it would be impossible to dictate which is clone; unless they start collecting people's phones to check the type of whatsapp they are using.
So my fellow GBWhatsapp rockers, have no fear cool
you have make my day awesome with your post,I no dey fear cheesy

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
stop hating bro

When these third-party apps started out, WhatsApp used to ban users who installed them for 72hrs and upwards. After seeing that a sizeable number especially it's teeming youthful users had installed these apps, the ban stopped.
The reason WhatsApp has suddenly decided to resume banning users of modified WhatsApp app is because the company wants to launch adverts on WhatsApp. These modified apps can be easily made to block out these ads. WhatsApp is broke and needs a way out of it's financial crisis.

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?
if you were a mobile app developer, you'd have known it's among the easiest things to detect.

They have their reasons why they stopped banning, and it has nothing to with clone developers being smart. Anyone can easily build on an existing android app especially if they don't have to bother about the server and concurrency.

As long as the clone apps use the same whatsapp server, they can be banned, unbanned and rebanned at will by the whatsapp team.

...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.
You can counter that using Privacy Settings. Besides, viewing a status is not stalking.

I've never really fancied all these cloned apps. They dint appeal to me.

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! undecided undecided
I agree with you jare.

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.”

Brilliant post... someone was telling me to instal GB Whatsapp on my
mobile device as a better option to the mainstream Whatsapp but
I hesitated. I always trust my basic instincts.
