Get to Know What YoWhatsApp Is and How to Install It
Lately the use of WhatsApp mod among young people is increasing. One of the WA mods that can be recommended is YoWhatsApp.
YoWhatsApp itself was developed by Yousef Al-Basha. However, currently Yousef Al-Basha is no longer developing this application. And now it is taken over by Fouad Mokdad, the developer of the FM WhatsApp application.
This application is similar at first glance to GBWhatsApp or WhatsApp Plus, which may also be widely used today.
If you are interested in trying this WhatsApp mod application, it's a good idea to get to know it better, then decide whether to use it or not.

There are several flagship features offered by this WA mod application.
Here you can use three accounts in one application.
You can send long videos up to 700 MB in size. Where the official WhatsApp only allows 100 MB videos.
You can not display your online status, so people can't see when you are using this application.
Incognito mode that hides chat history and media from others.
Additional security such as double password locking and the ability to lock specific chats.
Built-in translation to instantly translate messages into your preferred language.
This mod also provides a variety of additional emojis that can be used to make the chatting experience even more exciting. However, users need to download these emojis separately before using them.
Risks of Using YoWhatsApp

Although it offers abundant features, this WA mod application actually holds many risks. Here are some risks that will haunt you:
Malware from Mod Apps
When you use this mod application, you can be at risk of malware. This is caused by users who download the application via APK files from certain sites, not from the official application store.
Thus, this mod application could insert malware into the application files that you download.
Threat of Blocking from WhatsApp
WhatsApp emphasized that using modified applications is unsafe and violates the Terms of Service.
They also warned that users of the app could be blocked, either temporarily or permanently.
Conversation Security Not Guaranteed
The reason behind the ban on the use of mod applications is that the security of user conversations is still not guaranteed.
WhatsApp has always emphasized the importance of end-to-end encryption to protect the privacy of conversations.
