APK](https://bestforandroid.com/apk/ "apps apk download")* Version **53.00** · third-party developer · `com.WhatsApp5Plus` A dark-themed WhatsApp mod that swaps the default green chrome for an all-black interface and layers on privacy controls, deeper customization, and an anti-ban patch on top of the familiar messenger. Version 53.00 Size 109 MB [Android](https://bestforandroid.com/ "best android guides") 5.0+ License Free What *Black WhatsApp* is ------------------------ Black WhatsApp is a third-party modified build of the standard WhatsApp messenger. The headline change is cosmetic: the green header, chat bubbles, and tab bar are recolored to a deep black palette that reads better in low light and on OLED screens, where true-black pixels save battery. Underneath that re-skin sits the same messaging core people already know, so chats, voice notes, and calls work the way they always have. The mod also opens up settings the official client keeps locked. You can hide your last-seen, freeze your online status, disable read receipts per contact, and stretch status posts and shared files past the limits baked into the stock app. None of that exists on the version in the Play Store, which is what draws people who want more control over how their account looks and what it reveals. Because it is a community build and not an official release, Black WhatsApp is distributed as a direct APK rather than through Google Play. That is the trade-off: more features and theming in exchange for sideloading and the risks that come with an unofficial client. A look at the *interface* ------------------------- ![Black WhatsApp mod dark interface, chat list and theme settings](https://bestforandroid.com/apk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/preview184.png) What this *mod* offers ---------------------- - **True-black dark theme**An all-black interface across chats, calls, and settings, easier on the eyes at night and lighter on OLED battery than the stock theme. - **Privacy controls**Hide last-seen, freeze online status, turn off blue ticks and typing indicators, and choose who can see what on a per-contact basis. - **App lock**Built-in PIN, pattern, password, and fingerprint locks guard the app even when your phone is already unlocked. - **Themes and fonts**A theme store plus custom fonts, icons, and accent colors let you restyle the look well beyond the single dark base. - **Higher sharing limits**Send larger files, more photos at once, and longer status clips than the caps the official client enforces. - **Anti-ban patch**The build updates its identifiers to reduce the chance of an account flag, though no mod can promise the official servers will never act. How to *install* ---------------- This follows the standard Android sideload flow. If your file manager already has permission to install apps, it is only a few taps. 1. **Back up your chats first**Open your current WhatsApp, go to chat backup, and save a local copy so a switch between clients keeps your history. 2. **Download the APK**Tap the download button on this page. The file lands in your default Downloads folder. 3. **Allow installs from this source**In Settings, search `Install unknown apps`, find your browser or file manager, and toggle the permission on. 4. **Open the file and install**Tap the downloaded APK, review the permissions, and confirm. Wait for the progress bar to finish. 5. **Verify your number**Launch the app, enter your phone number, complete the SMS code, and restore your local backup when prompted.
