Thrilling features like what?

You do realise what you're using is a clone of another product and that the owners of the original product has every right to be aggrieved?

If the one you're using is so good, why can't the developers give it a proper name and market it as an independent product?



You are right though, no one wants their products to be cloned, but then again the original owners should also investigate why most persons prefer using the modded versions and if possible include some of its features that does not affect the privacy of anyone in the original products. This is common business strategy.

The only shocking revelation here's, you are a programmer!

If you are as you said you are and you have attempted to add an app to any of the app stores, this won't look convoluted to you.

I have no interest in grammatical correctness, or the difference between a security procedure and end to end protection.

Try and add one of those app you developed on Apple store or even play store, you will understand how much enforcement they entertain.

Just what I was expecting grin the picture below is called Plus, it's the unofficial version of telegram that is available on playstore. The main reason why unofficial WhatsApp isn't on playstore is because Mark Zuckerberg is a crybaby that doesn't want anybody to touch his toy. Now you say app stores heavily enforce laws, why haven't they done anything to this unofficial telegram which is a whole lot different from the official telegram (it's just like unofficial WhatsApp!)

Lol. They cant market it independently. It reminds me of the time when an Egyptian made one of the best windows of that time, Windows XP3. It was far superior to any windows that came then, only windows 7 beat it. You are right on the aggrievance issue. But it cannot be marketed independently except they pay, or reach a beneficial agreement. By truth be told, most of these fake whatsapp beat the original hands down o. What they should have done, is review and make their ten times better, which I think they are doing now. With one whatsapp being able to register two lines, communities, channels and the likes. Still...

Plus enforces same rule as Telegram, if you are banned on Telegram, you can't use plus, WHAT DOES THAT TELLS YOU.

[We both know the truth so come off of it. quote author=KushLyon post=128943753]

On the contrary, y'all using the normal WhatsApp are the big time simps who want to monitor the actions of others. You want to know who is online, when last they came online, who viewed your status, who read your messages and didn't reply etc. with gbwhatsapp, once we turn off our online status, we can't see the online status of other people as well. We can't also know who read our messages once we turn off our read receipts, and we also can't see the last seen of others. Now tell me, who is monitoring who? Just open mouth waaaaaaaahhh, dey spew nonsense [/quote]

If you're banned in Whatsapp, you can't use gbwhatsapp as well....just keep shooting yourself in the foot. Go to playstore and read about plus extra features which is a lot different from Telegram and tell me how what they did is different from what unofficial WhatsApp is doing. In fact to save you the stress, I have dropped the screenshot here. Also, go ask people that have been permanently banned by WhatsApp if they can use unofficial WhatsApp, like I said before, you don't even know anything about all these but you just write anything that makes you sound confident

Your first statement is wrong, official WhatsApp has a feature where you can add more than one account. As if that is not enough, you can also make use of WhatsApp business. Right now, I can have up to 4 different WhatsApp accounts on my phone without using the unofficial WhatsApp.

The unofficial WhatsApp also has end-to-end encryption as well as other security features of the official one. Unofficial WhatsApp still runs WhatsApp under the hood, that's why you can chat with a person using the official WhatsApp. If unofficial WhatsApp isn't using the real WhatsApp under the hood, then it won't be possible to message people using official WhatsApp (it's like trying to message a WhatsApp user from telegram).

1. As for your "act as a keylogger", I have been using unofficial WhatsApp for over 6 years and I store my bank details in it, email passwords and a lot of other personal data, never have I experienced any "hacking".

2. This is very wrong because the unofficial WhatsApp doesn't have permission to access information on any other apps, I have checked all of the so called "security privileges" and it's the same permissions Whatsapp asks for, and Android doesn't give access to hiddem permissions (in case you want to tell me the developers can hide these permissions). I'm a developer myself so I have indepth knowledge of these things, you're just saying things you don't even know about

3. Now you're just assuming and making things up

As for your example, it didn't occur to you that the seller is probably working with the scammer and sent him your info? Or that the scammer got your info from somewhere else? But sure, let's blame it on unofficial WhatsApp.

Lastly, why has anybody not called out unofficial WhatsApp if all you're saying is true? They have been in existence for over 7 years, so by now they should have been a widespread cases of all you have accused it of, isn't it?

I like the way you approach the argument/question. In the course of your argument, you are at the same time educating them on the things they did not know b4 now.

Guy, I was one of the users of FMwhatsapp, but recently I got the flash message on my FMwhatsapp asking me to switch to official WhatsApp now. This msg has been popping up on FMwhatsApp for about 2 weeks now. Out of fear of being logged off and blocked by WhatsApp and what some people are saying on this thread concerning the mooded WhatsApp, I switched to the normal WhatsApp, few days ago.

Frankly speaking, the normal WhatsApp is so boring. No exciting features at all. Important information or videos in WhatsApp status you can't download or screenshot. They cluster private chats & group chats together, unlike in mooded WhatsApp. In fact, the normal WhatsApp is rubbish.

Guy, which of the WhatsApp are you using right now, (mooded WhatsApp or the normal one)?

If the mooded WhatsApp, are you still receiving the warning msg from the normal WhatsApp to switch?

Is there any possibility of the normal WhatsApp banning/blocking users who do not adhere to their instruction of switching to the normal WhatsApp?

Lastly, I'm contemplating of switching back to the mooded WhatsApp I'm used to, is there any one you can recommend to me that won't be affected by the normal WhatsApp threat? If possible, the one you are currently using, if any.

Thank you.

Have you ever downloaded a pirated movie? Music? software? Windows for your laptop is it licensed? How about the Microsoft Office suite on it? Licensed? You paid for it? If no, are you aware its a crime?

You're trying so hard to defend your crime.

For all you mentioned, I don't download pirated music or movies. I can only download from genuine sites that can offer the product on free when I may be able to access the paid ones.

For the Microsoft suite, you can still get the free software from their site.
Seems your life is channeled towards illegal stuffs.

WhatsApp logged me out of my fmwhatsapp in February but I found a loophole and got back in. The trick is to use the official WhatsApp linked devices feature. First make sure you're already on the official WhatsApp, then click on the 3 dots in the top right corner (as seen in the picture below). Select linked devices then "link a device". For this to work, you will need 2 phones (or a laptop). I have a laptop, so that's what I used.

2. For the next step, open your Fmwhatsapp but don't log in with a number. Instead, click on a similar 3 dots at the top right corner and you will see something like link a number (i can't remember what it's called). But when you click on it, it will show you a QR code which you will screenshot and send to another device (either another phone or laptop).

3. Go back to the official WhatsApp and after clicking on the "link a device", the QR code scanner will open and you will just scan that screenshot you sent to the other device. That's it, it will log in and you can continue using the Fmwhatsapp while you find a way to freeze the official WhatsApp (my phone came with a freezer).

But the downside is that you will have to always open the official WhatsApp every 2 weeks because if you don't use it after that 2 weeks, they will log you out from Fmwhatsapp and you will have to repeat the process again. I have been using this loophole since last month and they haven't disturbed me since then

The so-called genuine site you mentioned are also pirating the movie. Why will they offer a paid product for free? And you're here confidently defending it, you're the same as gbwhatsapp users. You look for free products (which are obviously pirated) when the paid ones are there, why not follow the legal way and pay for the product? Mr illegal stuffs undecided

Lol! I'm a tech worker and can put together whatever I want from open source offerings. Absolutely have no need to use Microsoft products. Can you tell me where Microsoft gives free licenses for their products? And how you got it from them?

Clone WhatsApp or moulded WhatsApp gives soo many rooms for flexibility that the original one is trying to catch up with..

So there nothing anyone can do about it. It will keep existing till tomorrow




Okay Bro



Just apply this same energy when government officials decide not to abide by the dictates of the constitution that is not flexible enough to enable their corrupt practices. There's nothing anyone can do about this either, especially with this mindset of a citizen like you

Bn a tech worker does not overrule one from still in fraudulent. We have many politicians with give resources in fraudulent. You heard of Binance? You know what happened. Having a good job does not stop a fraudulent person from doing that.

So that excuse holds no water rather or makes u more of a culprit. Tech workers are the ones hacking into other ppl's apps to modify it without the consent of the owner.
