Many users have decided to change WhatsApp to the alternative version WhatsApp Plus, whose APK version 18.40.0 is already available, although only for Android. WhatsApp Plus is an APK (Android Application Package) that manages to modify the instant messaging platform owned by Meta, allowing a huge range of customization: more emojis, backgrounds, menus, new call options and video calls.

Another outstanding feature of the app is a greater ability to send files (up to 50 MB) and without reducing the quality of the photo, as it happens in WhatsApp (16MB).

For its use, it is essential to make sure of the origin of the download file, since there are camouflaged malware such as the APK that could infect your cell phone with viruses and other threats.

WhatsApp warned on more than one occasion of the risk that a user's account runs when using an unsupported version: "If you received a message within the application notifying that your account is 'temporarily suspended' it means that you are probably using an unauthorized version of WhatsApp. (...) If after your account has been temporarily suspended you do not start using the official version of WhatsApp, your account could be permanently suspended," the company statement said.
