Searching for Whatsapp Plus on Google you will find several authoritative sites (so to speak) that recommend installing it to have additional functions that the official Whatsapp app does not have. In particular, with Whatsapp Plus it is possible to change the graphics of the chat, change the theme, size, colors and backgrounds in a personalized way.
There are also other functions to hide from others the date of the last access to Whatsapp, to send different emoticons and other delicious things that seem very interesting and attractive.
However, Whatsapp Plus is not a certified or even secure application.
For Android mobiles it is not possible to download from Google Play but from different sites, while for iPhone it is also necessary to jailbreak for installation.
One of the hoaxes that are spreading through chains of messages due to ignorance (in a good sense) of less experienced users is also turning these days, inviting the installation of WhatsApp Gold, which will become, in the future, the official Whatsapp app .
The news is completely false, Whatsapp Gold does not exist and proceeding with the link of the message will download a virus.
While Whatsapp Gold doesn't really exist, WhatsApp Plus not only has nothing to do with Facebook's Whatsapp, but it is also a potential malware that you should stay away from.
The APK file to install Whatsapp Plus on Android devices hides communication links to unknown sites and servers, leaving strong doubt about its legitimacy.
In addition, the chat made with Whatsapp Plus is absolutely not encrypted as it happens for the official Whatsapp app.
Basically, if some site reports Whatsapp plus an improved version of Whatsapp or even if it is reported as an official application, we must not believe it.
For safety, do not download and install Whatasapp Plus and, if it was already installed, it is better to remove it immediately.
The application could be malware that can cause problems with the smartphone, putting privacy and security of private data at risk.
Update: Whatsapp is banning users who use Whatsapp Plus or other unofficial clients such as WhatsAppMD so, even more so, avoid using and installing them.
Whatsapp also warns that: " The developers of WhatsApp Plus have no relationship with WhatsApp, and we do not support WhatsApp Plus. Be aware that WhatsApp Plus contains a code that WhatsApp cannot guarantee as secure and that your private information can potentially be passed on to third parties without your knowledge or authorization .
