WhatsApp Plus is a modded version of WhatsApp for Android. This page covers the latest APK release with screenshots, the main features, install steps, compatibility notes, and what to look at before you sideload it.

What is WhatsApp Plus?

WhatsApp Plus is a modified WhatsApp client built on top of the official messaging app. You still send texts, voice notes, photos, videos, and documents, and you still make voice and video calls. Group chats, status updates, and end-to-end encrypted messaging all behave the way they do in the standard app. The difference sits in the extra controls layered on top.

The mod adds the privacy switches and customization options the official app keeps locked down. You can hide your last seen, blue ticks, typing status, and online presence on a per-contact basis. You can read messages someone deleted, theme the whole interface, and send media without the usual compression and file-size caps.

Sign-in still runs through your normal phone number and WhatsApp verification. Your chats, contacts, and group history all carry over. The mod does not touch anything on WhatsApp's servers; it changes what your copy of the app is allowed to do with the same account.

What does WhatsApp Plus offer?

WhatsApp Plus is about giving you more say over privacy and presentation than the stock app allows. Hide your last seen, blue ticks, and typing indicator from specific people. Freeze your online status so contacts cannot tell when you are active. Read messages that the sender later deletes, thanks to the built-in anti-revoke.

The mod also opens up media limits. Send larger video files, share more photos at once, and push images at full quality instead of WhatsApp's compressed versions. On top of that you get themes, custom fonts, and tweaks to the chat layout that the official client does not expose.

Account sign-in still uses your existing WhatsApp number, so your chats, contacts, and groups stay intact. The mod does not change anything server-side; it changes what your phone is allowed to do with the same account.

Key features

WhatsApp Plus keeps the full messaging surface of the official app. Here is what people actually use it for day to day:

  • Text and voice messages: Send texts, emoji, and voice notes to contacts and groups.
  • Voice and video calls: Call one person or a group with end-to-end encryption.
  • Media sharing: Send photos, videos, documents, and your location in chats.
  • Group chats: Talk with up to hundreds of members, with admin controls and replies.
  • Status updates: Post photo, video, and text status that disappears after 24 hours.
  • Backup and restore: Save chat history and pull it back after a reinstall.

Mod features

The modded build of WhatsApp adds the following on top of the official app:

  • Hide your activity: Turn off last seen, blue ticks, typing status, and online presence per contact.
  • Anti-revoke: Still read messages and statuses after the sender deletes them.
  • Themes and fonts: Restyle the whole interface with custom themes, colors, and fonts.
  • Bigger media limits: Send larger videos and share photos at full quality without heavy compression.
  • DND mode: Cut WhatsApp's internet access without turning off the rest of your phone.
  • Full account sync: Sign in with your existing number; chats, contacts, and groups carry over.

What's new in the latest version?

The latest build of WhatsApp Plus (v2.26.19.70) focuses on stability, compatibility, and small interface fixes on top of the upstream changes from the official app. The maintainer rebuilds against each new WhatsApp release as it ships, so the modded version usually trails the official one by a few days.

  • Improved stability across newer Android versions, including Android 14 and 15
  • Faster loading and a smaller memory footprint on lower-RAM phones
  • Bug fixes for reported call, sync, and message-delivery issues
  • Updated interface elements that match WhatsApp's current design
  • Better support for foldable and tablet form factors
  • Privacy and theming modules rebuilt against the new base APK

Pros and cons

What works
  • Save photos and Reels
  • Ghost mode for Stories
  • Hide read receipts
  • Ad-free feed
  • Tracking removed
  • Works alongside official app on some builds
What does not
  • Account flagging risk if you sign in with your main
  • Not on Google Play, sideload only
  • No automatic updates, you reinstall by hand
  • Some features may differ between builds
  • Sign-in via main account is riskier than burner
  • Permissions require manual review on first launch

Good to know before installing

Modded APKs install by sideload, so Android will ask you to allow 'Install unknown apps' for your file manager or browser. That prompt is normal. Only switch it on for sources you actually trust.

Check the package name, version, and requested permissions before you open the app. If the permissions do not line up with a messaging app, hold off on installing.

Is WhatsApp Plus safe?

WhatsApp Plus is safest when you get the official WhatsApp from Google Play, but the mod itself only comes as a sideloaded APK. Files from unknown mirrors can be outdated, tampered with, or unsafe. Before installing, check the package name, version, file size, and requested permissions. If anything looks off compared with the official listing, do not install the APK.

The WhatsApp Plus APK on this page is signed by the modder, not by WhatsApp. Google Play Protect will flag it on install because it does not come from Google Play. That warning is expected for any sideloaded APK; you can dismiss it and continue at your own discretion. The real question is what sits inside the file, which is why we list the package name, version number, and file size up top.

FAQ

  • Is WhatsApp Plus free?
    Yes. The modded APK is free to install. You sign in with your existing WhatsApp number.
  • What does this WhatsApp mod offer?
    Hide last seen and blue ticks, anti-revoke, custom themes, and bigger media limits.
  • Will my account be flagged?
    Patched clients can be detected. If you are worried, sign in with a secondary number.
  • Can I install WhatsApp Plus without Google Play?
    Yes. Download the APK and install it by sideload.
  • Does WhatsApp Plus update automatically?
    No. Grab a fresh build from this page when a new version drops.
  • What Android version does it require?
    Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later for the latest builds.

Final verdict

WhatsApp Plus is worth a look if you want more control over privacy and presentation than stock WhatsApp gives you. The build adds hidden activity status, anti-revoke, themes, and larger media limits. Check compatibility, permissions, and the download source before installing the APK, and update from this page when a new build lands.

For your main number, the official Play Store version stays the safer install because of Google's pre-install scanning and the automatic update channel. Use the modded build with a secondary or spare number, where the risk to your main account is lower. If you only have one number, weigh the convenience of the extra controls against the small but real chance that WhatsApp may flag a patched client.
