FAQ
Do you offer GB WhatsApp or other mods?
No. Mods are unofficial, break WhatsApp’s terms and are a common malware source. We link only to the official app.
Is the WhatsApp Messenger APK safe to install?
Yes. We mirror the official Meta build and publish its SHA-256 checksum and a VirusTotal scan on this page, so you can verify the file is untouched before installing.
What is the WhatsApp Messenger package name?
The Android application ID is com.whatsapp. Check it after installing (Settings → Apps) to confirm you got the genuine app.
