Explore the Hidden Features of GB WhatsApp

Among all messaging apps, WhatsApp is widely loved for its simplicity and stability. However, for users seeking more privacy, flexibility, and customization, GB WhatsApp has become a popular alternative.

As an unofficial modified version of WhatsApp, GB WhatsApp APK offers a range of hidden features that the official app doesn’t include. These additions are exciting for many users—but they also come with some controversy and risks. Let’s explore what makes GB WhatsApp so special and what you should be aware of before using it.

Typing Status of GB WhatsApp

GB WhatsApp allows you to hide your typing status. However, in the original app, if you are typing a message, or even finding your favorite emoji, the other user will see you’re typing something. It’s like Snapchat’s bitmoji which opens up when someone is typing a message.

To do this:

1. Open GB WhatsApp on your device.
2. Access WhatsApp settings menu by tapping on the three in the right corner above.
3. Now, find GBSetting or Privacy option and tap on it. It varies from app version.
4. Look for the ‘Privacy And Security’ section or a similar option.
5. Within this section, find the ‘Hide Typing Status’ or ‘Writing Status’ option.
6. Toggle the feature to ‘On’ to hide your typing status. You may have options to hide it for contacts, groups, or both.
7. After enabling the feature, restart GB WhatsApp if necessary to apply the changes.

Anti Revoke Message (Recover Deleted Messages) of GBWhatsApp

7. Re confirm your password after setting it.
8. It’s recommended to restart the app to ensure the changes take effect.

Manage Multiple Accounts

Although you can use WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business to manage two accounts, GBWhatsapp enables you to do this on the same app.

To do this:

1. Ensure you have the latest version of GBWhatsApp Pro.
2. After installation, launch GBWhatsApp Pro on your device.
3. Tap on the ‘Agree and Continue’ button if you see it, then select your country and enter the new phone number you wish to use for the second WhatsApp account.

GB WhatsApp undeniably offers attractive and powerful features that go beyond the official app. However, users must balance freedom with security.

1. Always back up your data first.
2. Avoid using it with important business or personal accounts.
3. Stay updated on WhatsApp’s official policies regarding mod apps.
4. Use it cautiously and at your own risk.

GB WhatsApp can enhance your chat experience—but only if you understand the risks that come with it. In the end, security and privacy should always come before convenience.
