Why people should not use apps like WhatsApp Plus: WhatsApp provides total security to its users when they send and receive chats. No one else can see what they are sending or receiving, not even WhatsApp. The reason being WhatsApp has deployed end-to-end encryption. However, those using other apps, which load these extra features on top of WhatsApp, do not have the benefit of security as these chats are not encrypted thereby exposing them as well as others to risk of hacking, malicious software even phishing. As such, these third-party apps can be very risky to use. In effect, Apps like WhatsApp Plus are unofficial versions of WhatsApp, says Express. (Pixabay)
