Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Bug description: WhatsApp’s intensified crackdown on modified apps like GB WhatsApp has emerged as a critical issue for users in 2025, leading to widespread temporary and, in severe cases, permanent account suspensions. As Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company, enforces stricter compliance with its terms of service, users of GB WhatsApp—a popular third-party app offering dual-account support, advanced privacy features, and customization—are increasingly at risk. The bans stem from WhatsApp’s automated systems detecting unauthorized modifications, which violate its policies by accessing unofficial servers and altering the app’s core functionality. Temporary bans typically last 24–72 hours, serving as a warning, but repeated violations or failure to switch to the official app can result in permanent account loss, locking users out of their chats and contacts. This issue is particularly frustrating for GB WhatsApp users who rely on its unique features, such as enhanced media sharing, message scheduling, and theme customization, which are unavailable in the official version. To mitigate risks, users are advised to download the latest GB WhatsApp versions (e.g., v18.50 or newer) from trusted sources like gbwhatsapp, which claim to include anti-ban protections. Additionally, using GB WhatsApp with a secondary phone number, regularly backing up chats, and avoiding spammy behavior can reduce ban risks. However, the persistent threat of bans underscores the trade-off between GB WhatsApp’s advanced features and the security of using an unofficial app, prompting users to weigh convenience against potential account loss in an era of heightened enforcement.
