There are only two official ways to use WhatsApp, the first of which is with the regular app for WhatsApp. general public, on the other hand, there is the Business version aimed at business establishments commercials.
This alternative is only available for Android OS users. It is possible to use more than one account on the same device, there is also the possibility of sending media in a larger size than that allowed in the official WhatsApp. Audios of up to 100 MB and videos of 50 MB can be sent.
In addition, a function that attracts many users is the “anti-revoke”, which leaves messages saved locally on the device, in this way, you can read messages that have been deleted. Furthermore, the modified application supports different passwords for each conversation.
The way GB connects to the original WhatsApp is through contact list extraction. In this sense, it manages to circumvent the encryption that guarantees the privacy of messages.
First, as it is not an officially licensed application, GB security has limitations. It also doesn't have the same verification steps as the original. This way, there is greater chance of hacker attacks. Consequently, the content contained in conversations can be intercepted by crooks.
There are also risks regarding viruses and malicious code. Therefore, you need to be very careful if you want to use it.
Another reason not to use the application, and perhaps the main consequence of using WhatsApp GB, is the permanent blocking of the original account. With this, the user may have to create a new account, with a different phone number, if he wants to continue using the messenger.
In short, not enough information is known about GB, its origin, or exactly how the application settings work. There is not enough data on the encryption of information, so there is a great risk of exposing sensitive data of users. It is also not known whether the version will continue.
