Never like the app, as a computer scientist I always have this at the back of my mind that GB Whatsapp will have alot of back doors.
And we are in a generation where by our mobile phone is practically our life, account info, etc.
Giving an unverified app access to this information on your mobile can be dangerous.

Nigerian please don't blame the government for the predicament you cause yourself if the true colour of this app developer start to manifest.

And the OS itself hasn't got any backdoors?

From what am seeing here most people stoped using it cause they didn't known how to update it when it got expired.

The first thing i install on a newly purchased phone is Gbwhatsapp and GbIntagram grin haters can go and kill themselves.

Just cause you dont know how to use it doesn't make it bad.

you don't use an android phone, cause if you did, you will know that when you install a new version of an app on the previous version your cached data remains the same and so you can continue your progress from exactly where you left off. Same thing applies to both official whatsapp and gbwhatsapp.

Maybe because you're the deceitful type.

Why should I be worried about my last seen? Or read receipts? Or inconsequential things like that? When I receive a message, I try to reply as quick as I can. If my reply is delayed, for reasons beyond my control, I offer an apology.

But I can't at my age be deceiving myself by backdating my last seen. Something we did in 2go when we were foolish. Who wants to beat you?
hey! b careful. cause no offense. I have my reasons. Be forming saint.

When they dont know how to do anything,they criticised. I have never lost anything when it expires. More over the best time for it is when it tells you there is an update before it gets to the last day.After the last day,you might lose all.I dont even use gb sef but Yo for years now.

There is no privacy with the original whatsapp which is owned by Facebook. All those end to end encryption is total BS! Facebook is notorious for data mining and breaching privacy so they can see the messages you send on whatsapp and store anything they want. If you need privacy use telegram.

It's your decision to use GBwhatsapp. I hope you see the disadvantage earlier. In the world of technology every thing has loop holes but there are some loop hole you created yourself

"Why would anyone give you all those awesome looking features for free? "

Why did Facebook give you the original for free?

It's for the same reason, though less malicious as you imply, as for the scaremongering here: to sell your data to the highest bidder.

That's why Google and Facebook apps and services are free.


Google knows your emails, contacts, devices, Hangouts, looks, friends, family, shopping and browsing habits, favorite pornsites, books, movies, music, apps, location, documents.... everything about you more than you know yourself.

As for the end to end encryption, it's baked into the core app, so removing it is nigh impossible.

Still, people need to be careful with anything that connects to the internet.

What I learned from this Google sponsored write up is that mark zuckabarge is really losing his business and popularity to this umar of a guy who is developing the said GB WhatsApp; but an advice to Google and mark is that they should just give out/update the official WhatsApp to get all of the mentioned features so we can stop this stories already
