The rise of WhatsApp Plus and should you install it?

The other day we received a rather interesting notification from one of our users about a service called WhatsApp Plus. While it sounds like a premium version of the original and hugely popular WhatsApp messaging service, after digging around a bit we have found that the circumstances surrounding this app are a bit suspicious.

whatsapp+

What does WhatsApp Plus look like?

Firstly, the app seems to be a blatant copy of the original WhatsApp. The only difference being the WhatsApp icon which is now blue in this case. This is a great way for getting people to think that WhatsApp Plus is a variant of the original WhatsApp. Whether this infringes any copyrights or not is unknown.

Who provides WhatsApp Plus and where can it be found?

WhatsApp Plus is not available on the authentic Google Play store and we don’t believe it will be available there anytime soon either. As per our information, the only place it can be found as of now is over the web on its own dedicated website. It may be available over some third-party app repositories, but downloading any apps from such sources is not recommended.

Apparently, this app was developed by a Spanish developer known as Rafalete in 2012. WhatsApp Plus is free to install and it seems to carry the same user license as WhatsApp as well.

Correction: As has been brought to our notice, the name of the developer of WhatsApp is Rafalanse. We had incorrectly believed his name was Rafalete.

How is WhatsApp Plus different from WhatsApp?

Now let’s see the differences between these two apps and why someone would be inclined to install WhatsApp Plus in the first place. Users of this app can enjoy some unique visual themes which are not available for the regular WhatsApp version. Apparently, there are over 700 different themes and skins that can be installed for customization. Moreover, there are tons of new smileys and emoticons available for WhatsApp Plus users as well.

whatsapp+ themewhatsapp+ limitwhatsapp+ color

Additionally, WhatsApp Plus users can also choose to hide their ‘last seen’ status so that people do not come to know when they were last active on WhatsApp. However, on WhatsApp Plus, this is a paid feature. Android users of the original WhatsApp will be aware that this feature is now available to them for free.

Apart from this, WhatsApp Plus also allows users to send heavier files. This file sharing limit can be stretched to 50MB for these users. The original WhatsApp only allows 2MB of files to be shared at a time. Several other features are also available to WhatsApp Plus users such as changing the chat images, contacts’ images, popup notifications, widget appearance and color of the launcher icon.

However, and this can be a deal breaker for most users, if you are installing WhatsApp Plus then you need to mandatorily uninstall the original WhatsApp from your device. This is a rather strange move and arouses our suspicions even further.

Correction: The file size limit in WhatsApp is 16 MB. We had incorrectly stated this limit as 2 MB.

So should you install WhatsApp Plus or not?

Our recommendation would be to not install WhatsApp Plus on your phone. Its exact origins are unknown and it is also unknown if this app is legal in the first place. Unless you are a highly technical user who roots his Android to make it highly unique, we suggest you stay away from WhatsApp Plus and stick to the original WhatsApp like 500 million other people. Additionally, to avoid accidental installation of fake Android apps that can potentially steal data, use an effective antivirus solution like Quick Heal Total Security.

    @RAHUL THADANI it seems you know nothing except promoting a BLOATWARE A.V ie. QUICKHEAL 🙂
    so get your facts cleared before putting up false information

    1. The name of the Whatsapp Plus developer is RAFALANSE not “Rafalete”

    2. RAFALANSE Was a very well known and respected developer on XDA before he was banned by them because of DMCA COMPLAINT BY WHATSAPP INC. i hope you are aware what DMCA is and What XDA is :-)so dont ever put sill argument that a respected developer will ever STEAL PRIVATE DATA.

    3. OFFICIAL WHATSAPP PROVIDES 16 M.B OF DATA TRANSFER SINCE 2009 NOT JUST 2 M.B AS WRITTEN BY YOU

    4. the official LAST SEEN HIDE FEATURE IS USELESS BECAUSE After Activating it you will not be able to seen others LAST SEEN as-well. Whereas in Whatsapp + only your ie USERS LAST SEEN IS HIDDEN NOT OTHERS

    5. Yes you have to install Whatsapp Plus after Uninstalling Original Whatsapp because both are same programme packages and according to Android APK Behavior you cannot Install Same software side by side. I hope you understand this technicality too.

    SO brother stop spreading false information that whatsapp plus is a bad software in fact like official Whatsapp Millions of user like me are enjoying using it for past two years, and remember my BANK A/C OR G.Fs MOBILE NUMBER WAS NEVER STOLE BY WHATSAPP PLUS developer 🙂

      Hi Atif,

      Firstly, thank you for your detailed insights. The fact that you took the time out to come to our blog to share so much information with us is really encouraging and we are glad you did so. With regards to the points you have made –

      1. The most advanced version of Quick Heal for home users requires a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM and 1.6 GB free hard disk space. I believe this is the bare minimum that any machine today operates on, barring a few. So we don’t believe that classifying Quick Heal as ‘bloatware’ is a correct nomenclature. This is simply your personal opinion, which we respectfully accept.

      2. Apologies for getting the name of the developer wrong.

      3. Since the developer was served a DMCA complaint by WhatsApp Inc. it is clear that WhatsApp Plus crosses several copyright lines. When intellectual property is stolen, there are consequences.

      4. You are right about the file size limit as well. Apologies for that.

      5. We are glad that you have been using WhatsApp Plus without losing your bank account information and your loved ones’ phone numbers. Please note that we are not claiming WhatsApp Plus is bad. It is up to each user whether they wish to use it or not. While you may have had a good experience with it, there are others who have not. This is a knowledge sharing platform for one and all.

      Hope this clarifies and we hope you will be happy to see your comment has not been deleted.

      Best regards.

  36. I cannot understand if whatsapp+ and whatsapp are different and we suspects that whatsapp+ is a stolen copy of original one and is a different company then how come when we send message to a original whatsapp user from this new whatsapp+ app , they recieve it and reply in vice versa manner ?? How this two apps are compatible ? This proves they share the same server…. give it a thought ..I think this is a trial copy of original whatsapp to see what works in the market and what not ..or may be its really a stolen copy with stolen passwords to the server too ..haha

    The app is a tweak to make Whatsapp original look much better the way you want it.

      At present, Quick Heal mobile security products only supports the Android Platform.

      Contrary to what you might have been told by the customer care, Android happens to be the most vulnerable mobile platform. 99.9% of mobile malware are designed to attack Android.

  52. Such a noob article. The reason you have to uninstall original Whatsapp is due to the signature conflicts. It is not something that “arouses suspicion”. Give the great developer some credit rather than posting stupid and immature article. Whatsapp Plus is amazing and it provides features that a whole team behind the actuall Whatsapp couldn’t. One single person took the pains to reverse engineer the whole app and add features. You might have not seen his xda page. This was initially released in xda as a whatsapp mod. The original Whatsapp guys sent him a DCMA notice so XDA had to take down hence he hosts it in his own site and still he continues to update.

    Don’t give people false information on the pretext that you know everything. Do some research. A simple google search would help you out in this.

    The last scene hide feature is different from what original Whatsapp offers. In this you can hide with a particular time rather than showing nothing. So it is different plus you can see other’s last scene as well.

    i have installed and used this app for one day.
    but whatsaap (original) warned me from using
    whatsaap+ since its not related with it. its
    violence in their view to use this whatsaap+
    app. i have been banned for 24 hours since i
    have violated their terms. so I am living without
    whatsaap for one day. missing my loved one
    texts
    i don’t recommend any android users who are
    conscious about their well maintained whatsaap
    to use this app. and I am one of them. ‘beware
    of frauds’

  70. You are actually right. If you’re an average user just stick to whatsapp. For those who are technical advanced users on android its a must try. But give the developer credit for reverse engineering the app and modifying it. As stated it was something only for the XDA community of developers & hobbyists. It was never for an average user.

      Hi Laurie,

      Can you please specify what you mean? That will allow us to provide you with a better answer to the issue you are currently facing. If your WhatsApp Plus has crashed, you can simply restart the app or maybe restart your phone. That should get it working again and not interfere with any messages or information you already have on your device.

      Regards.

  73. I means that the message said “WhatsApp Plus error has crashed” then I opened WhatsApp again. But the recent current messages are gone. So I want to know how to get the messages back.

      Hi Ramesh,

      Yes this can be done. Go to Menu >> Settings >> Account >> Privacy >> Read Receipts. If you uncheck the box in front of Read Receipts, the double tick-marks in blue will not be visible to your contacts when you send them a message. However please note, this works both ways. You will not be able to see when someone else has read your message and they will also not be able to see when you have read their message. However, in a group chat, this setting cannot be disabled.

      Regards.

      Hi Nandu,

      We recommend that you uninstall the app and then reinstall it on the device again. There must have been an error during installation which caused this.

      Regards.

      Hi Sudhanshu,

      We recommend you take this up with the official developer and provider of the app. We cannot comment on the cause behind this issue.

  78. How can I use WhatsApp and WhatsApp plus on 1time

      Hi Sumit,

      WhatsApp Plus needs you to remove the WhatsApp app before installation. So it is not possible to use both these apps at the same time.

      Regards.
