WhatsApp have spend millions of dollars to developed Latest update to effect a ban on it unofficial app.

it seems that the end has finally comes for unofficial WhatsApp. despite the anti ban features from those unofficial WhatsApp and still WhatsApp is able to effect ban

timay:


And the developers of those apps are sleeping ba?

Banning people is not the solution, but taking away the incentives that make people go for those third party apps. People love to add themes, tweak their apps to their taste and so on. If Whatsapp can add even half of those features on their official app, people won't use the third party apps again.

So banning is just a temporary fix. The developers will always update their app again to bypass those banning. IT is such a crazy world. If they have your time, their is nothing you can do to stop it.

Exactly, I remember when Android was still in kitkat version, people were rooting their phones, just to add themes, network speed and fonts majorly, but when Android added these features traditionally, rooting of android phone has reduced. Then, I couldn't use an android phone without rooting, it was just too boring, same way I can't go back to using the original WhatsApp.

timay:


God bless you my brother.

Rooting of Android phones is a perfect example.

Now most Android phones now come with features that you would have needed root access to aquire before.

people now change fonts , tweak their phone, add teams and almost all now come with OTA updates, so you don't need to root your phone any longer.

The practice of rooting Android phones died a slow and natural death.

WhatsApp can take a cue from that, not banning up and down, cos it won't work. Let them add those exciting features that makes those third party apps be in business, and those apps will die a natural death.

Just after an Unknown Nairaland Mod banned me, WhatsApp too banned me for using an unofficial app. Well, I ignored Nairaland's ban because I know the Mod is not aware I'm from the same tribe I fired at for them to wake up.

But then, I just uninstalled the expired GBWhatsApp V7 and installed V7.20. Now I'm back online.

My WhatsApp customization is too cool to me to uninstall and go back to that WhatsApp that only reminds me of Nigerian flag and it's awful government.

Mod, you can ban me again for that.

Olanipekun1:
official WhatsApp to me is a sin

Sparekey:


Sorry for the mention.

Do you back up your chat before you uninstall or you just uninstall like that

CHESTER48:
I just got banned on version 7.20. Normal WhatsApp is very bad I swear. I just noticed I can't even download statuses from my contact.

MistadeRegal:


*Backup your messages.
*Go to File Manager and copy GBWHATSAPP.
*Paste in your SD Card.
*Uninstall GBWhatsApp.
*Install newer version.
During launching, it will discover your previous data.
*Just click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP.
That's all.

Sparekey:


Thanks.

After copying to the SD Card. Should I delete the one in Internal memory?

MistadeRegal:


You can.

But the very one you needed is already in your SD Card. It will contain several folders and files, namely your theme, media, backup etc.
That's the very one you should keep.

Sparekey:


Sorry for my stupid questions.. I thought when you download a new app that it will install on the internal memory?

How come I have to delete the one in the internal memory?

MistadeRegal:


Your questions are not stupid.
Base on the setting of your phone. In a case where the device is granted to decide where to install any app, it automatically select which memory will make the app run faster and better.

Whatsapp usually install on phone memory but its cache and data is saved in SD Card.

There is this File Manager I use, which is very good in handling this stuff.

Or better, check in your SD Card if it contains all the data of your WhatsApp, if it does, make a backup of it by copy and paste should in case you uninstall and lose all data, then uninstall the WhatsApp. After copying, and about pasting, if it says "Replace or Keep Both?" Select "Keep Both" before you uninstall the WhatsApp.
Some Apps delete all its cache and data when you uninstall, but my WhatsApp doesn't, so possible yours also may not. But it's better you make a backup, just in case.

Sparekey:


Wow.. Thanks for this.

But I believe mine should be in the internal memory because I installed the WhatsApp first before inserting the Mcard.

But if am not asking for too much can I get the file manager name
