WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in India and is used as the primary messaging app
by most people in the country. WhatsApp currently has more than 200 million active users every
month in India and as long as it is free, this number will continue growing.

WhatsApp was sold to Facebook and the social media company has been adding latest features
to the app to retain users. The recent additions to the app include voice calling, video calling,
Snapchat like stories, a business app and more. As mentioned earlier, the company is also testing
group calling and group video calling.

While WhatsApp has many features, it lacks the customization which many users may want.
There are several restrictions in the app and a user cannot customize the app according to his
preference. If you are someone who wants to customize WhatsApp, then there is a solution for
you – GBWhatsApp.
GBWhatsApp is a mod for WhatsApp developed by Has.007, a senior XDA member and this
