How to Download WhatsApp Plus Original?

Since WhatsApp Plus is not official and cannot be found in the app stores, to download the original version you will have to follow a series of steps. Step one is finding a reliable place to download it, for example, APKMirror or Malavida both check all apps they upload against malware. Verifying that the file’s size corresponds to what those sites list (50 MB or so for the latest version) is a way to ensure its integrity. In fact, confirming the MD5 or SHA-256 checksum from the site will make your file safe as much as possible (but I still recommend checking even this). The differing checksums indicate that the file might be tampered which can mean an emergent security risk.

Also whatsapp plus original requires installation out of the Play Store, so it is also necessary to enable “Unknown Sources” in your Android security settings. This is a necessary step since official app stores prevent unverified apps. That being said, installing APKs from these third-party sites bypasses Google’s Play Protect and increases the likelihood of malware infection, with cybersecurity analyst Eva Galperin saying “Unverified third-party apps are a major privacy threat and can expose devices to significant vulnerability to malware.”

After downloading, the following to install should be an easy search for it in your downloads, opening and completing installation prompts. Switching to WhatsApp Plus means losing users chats and they need to back up chats from the official WhatsApp app. This process is mostly 2-3 minutes long depending on how many data you have to store and helps to save messages, images along with videos.

Whatsapp plus original offers a lot of customization possibilities (more than 800 themes). You can get more privacy controls and send files up to 50 MB. Note: This app does not have official end-to-end encryption meaning messages can be intercepted more easily. Although Google Play has many features, WhatsApp Plus is one of the common unofficial mobile apps that you should weigh its benefits and related security risks before continuation because doing so might provide hackers with easy access to your personal information.
