The instant messaging application launches a new update and here we explain how it works in detail

The instant messaging application WhatsApp is one of the most widely used platforms worldwide and, according to company data, it is used by more than 2 billion users, but for a few years thousands have been using a new version of the application. It is WhatsApp Plus , an unauthorized update from Facebook (the owner of the platform), but the appearance of the app can be completely customized: colors, themes and even backgrounds.

Among connoisseurs it has become quite popular because it has different functions than the original version: for example, it provides exclusive ’emoticons’, the legend “Online” can be hidden, the user defines who can call and who cannot. Also, you can see the States that have been eliminated, in addition to covering the “write” section so that no one knows when a person is writing a message , among other functions.

However, although there are still many tools to join with WhatsApp, some people have decided to download and use the WhatsApp Plus APK, as in version 17.50. Then we will leave you all the details so that you can download the application to your device (be it computer or cell phone).

How to download it? (Computer)

Then follow these steps:

1. Delete original WhatsApp.

2. Go to Google Chrome and download WhatsApp Plus APK (executable file) from the page of your choice.

3. Check the URL to avoid downloading any malware or programs that could harm your computer.

4. Install WhatsApp Plus to authorize Google Chrome.

5. Finally, WhatsApp Plus can be installed. You will need to specify a mobile phone number and choose where to export the chats from.

In case a warning appears stating that WhatsApp Plus cannot be installed, you must delete everything related to WhatsApp. To do this, go to Settings, Applications and in the search bar, type WhatsApp.

The latest version of the application also brings news such as:

– A new privacy and security system

– The possibility of configuring WhatsApp Plus with a “do not disturb” mode

– Hide the connection status and conversations.

– The “last seen” status can be blocked or suspended

– Enable automatic removal notifications.

– You can activate in a certain chat if you want connection alerts.

– You will no longer suffer from annoying ads in people’s ‘stories’, nor will it ask you to download other weird apps.

– It has the option to schedule messages and even determine if a blue check mark appears in case you have not responded.

– You can recover photos that have been deleted from a chat.

– You have the possibility to change the color of each section and download new themes as well.

Steps to hide your photo

1. Login to the application and go to Settings.

2. Then go to Privacy and you will read a section with the name of profile picture.

3. Select “Only your contacts” or “People” in this option.

From the moment you choose the previous alternative, every time someone looks for your number to talk to you (and also has you saved to the contact) and you are not ‘online’, your photo will not appear. This means that you will only be able to see your photo if you are using the application.

Is it safe to use this new version?

As already mentioned above, there is no original version by the company led by Mark Zuckerberg. Likewise, it is a totally safe update for any user.
