Do not download and install Whatsapp Plus or Gold !!

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 modify the chat graphics, change the theme, size, colors and backgrounds in a personalized way.
Then there are other functions to hide the date of the last access to Whatsapp from others, to send different emoticons and other fancy things that seem very interesting and attractive.
However, Whatsapp Plus is not a certified application, nor is it safe.
For Android phones, it cannot be downloaded from Google Play but from different sites, while for iPhones a jailbreak is also required for installation.

These days it is also shooting one of the hoaxes that spread through message chains due to the ignorance (in a good way) of less experienced users, inviting the installation of WhatsApp Gold, which will become the official Whatsapp app in the future.
The news is completely false, Whatsapp Gold does not exist and proceeding with the message link will download a virus.

While Whatsapp Gold doesn’t exist at all, WhatsApp Plus not only has nothing to do with Facebook’s Whatsapp, ma it is also a potential malware from which it is good to stay away.
The APK file to install Whatsapp Plus on Android devices hides communication links to unknown sites and servers, leaving strong doubts about its legitimacy.
Furthermore, the chat made with Whatsapp Plus is absolutely not encrypted as is the case for the official Whatsapp app.

Basically, if any site reports Whatsapp plus an improved version of Whatsapp or even if it is reported as an official application, don’t 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 a malware that can cause problems on your 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 therefore, all the more reason, 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 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.”
