Recently the YoWhatsApp app has become popular again. This is what you should know before downloading it, as there are risks as well.
Viewed from the official website, Tuesday (11/8/2021) YoWhatsApp is a Whatsapp Mode app developed by Yousef Al Basha. This application offers features that are not even present in the original WhatsApp application.
The YoWhatsApp app was later continued by Fouad Mokdad who had previously created FMWhatsApp. The latest YoWhatsApp is version 8.86 dated April 30, 2021.
They claim this WhatsApp Mod has been downloaded 13.8 million times and does not consume much memory, only 45.8 MB. What does YoWhatsApp offer? Here are the latest features:
YoWhatsApp offers YoThemes with new colors for those who are tired of green on WhatsApp.
There are hundreds more Emoji variants.
YoWhatsApp also offers a video delivery feature of up to 700MB, while WhatsApp is only 100MB.
They also offer a Default Lock feature to secure WhatsApp chats.
Another unique feature is Freeze Last Seen to hide the state of online users.
Yo WhatsApp also offers Special Privacy such as hiding Last Seen, blue tick and double tick.
Dual WhatsApp functionality is also available so users can use 2 WhatsApp accounts on one device.
Root -free is another advantage offered while other Modes require root permissions for Android phones in order to run smoothly.
In addition, there are many other features from the previous version. You could say this is the most popular WhatsApp mode, equivalent to WhatsApp GB.
But, is there a risk? Despite the diversity of features, WA GB and similar applications have various security threats. YoWhatsApp can only be downloaded outside the Google Play Store. As a result, there is a risk of being easily compromised by malware.
Conversations on YoWhatsApp are stored on third -party servers, so there is a possibility that your conversations could be spied on by hackers or irresponsible parties. This WhatsApp mode also in principle violates the WhatsApp Terms of Service.
Because it is made by an unofficial third party, WhatsApp is also unable to verify its security practices. In fact, there is a risk that WhatsApp users could be blocked.
“If you don’t switch to the official app after being temporarily blocked, your account may be permanently blocked using WhatsApp,” WhatsApp said in its official blog.
That’s the advantages and risks of using a WhatsApp mode like YoWhatsApp. Please consider the pros and cons before deciding whether to download it or not.
