How to Use GBWhatsApp (Beginner’s Guide)
GBWhatsApp is packed with powerful features, but it works similarly to the original WhatsApp. Here’s how to use it effectively on your Android device.
- Download and Install GBWhatsApp
Since GBWhatsApp is not on the Play Store, you’ll need to download the APK from a trusted source.
Steps:
- Download the GBWhatsApp APK (latest version).
- Go to Settings > Security > Unknown Sources, and enable it.
- Open the APK file and tap Install.
- Launch the app after installation.
- Register and Verify Your Number
- Open GBWhatsApp.
- Enter your mobile number (you can use the same number as WhatsApp or a different one).
- Verify it using the OTP code sent via SMS.
Restore your chat backup (if you have one).
- Explore the Main Interface
The layout is similar to WhatsApp:
- Chats Tab: Where all your conversations appear.
- Status Tab: To upload and view statuses.
- Calls Tab: For audio/video call history.
But GBWhatsApp adds extra tools!
- Customize GBWhatsApp Settings
Tap the three-dot menu (top right) and go to:
➤ GB Settings:
- Privacy & Security: Hide online status, blue ticks, typing, recording, etc.
- Themes: Download and apply custom themes.
- Universal Settings: Change fonts, app colors, icons.
- Backup & Restore: Manage chat backups independently of Google Drive.
- Use Privacy Features
Some of the most loved features:
- Freeze Last Seen: Keeps your last seen frozen even when you’re online.
- Hide View Status: Watch others’ statuses secretly.
- Anti-Delete Messages: View messages even if the sender deletes them.
- Lock Chats or App: Use fingerprint or password to protect access.
- Send Large Media Files
- Send videos up to 700MB.
- Share 100+ photos at once.
- Forward messages to more than 5 chats at once (official WhatsApp limits you).
- Manage Multiple Accounts
GBWhatsApp supports dual/multiple accounts.
- Install it alongside the official WhatsApp.
- Use a second phone number to manage two accounts on the same device.
- Update Regularly
Always download the latest version to avoid bugs and stay protected from bans.
- Go to GB Settings > Updates
- Tap Check for Updates
Final Tip: Use It Responsibly
While GBWhatsApp offers powerful tools, it’s not officially supported by Meta. To avoid bans:
- Don’t spam
- Don’t use unofficial backups
- Update regularly
