WhatsApp has been around for quite some time now, a period that dates back to 2009 when it was created.
This app has turned around its fortunes in a rather tough market and it now boasts a client base of more than 700 million people across the globe.
This application now has another version which is known as WhatsApp Plus. One issue with this application is that it’s not officially available on Google Play Store and you won’t find it there when you search for it. This is the major reason why this app is still young when considering the number of people using it. The only way you can get this application on your mobile phone is by visiting the official WhatsApp page or randomly searching the Google for the phrase “WhatsApp Plus” and you’ll be treated to numerous websites where you can still download the WhatsApp Plus APK file.
WhatsApp Plus has improved features
While WhatsApp comes with some amazing features for sending and receiving messages over the internet, WhatsApp Plus comes with these features but on the next level.These features have been worked on and generally improved. So, what are some of the top features of this WhatsApp Plus application that are hard to come by on the original application?
Ability to alter the app’s display
One major notable feature that is also most commendable about WhatsApp Plus is the ability to change the appearance of the display window and make it look as you choose to. With close to 1000 themes that have been designed by other users of WhatsApp Plus, you can download and apply these themes as well as customize them further to make them your own.
The good thing with these themes is that they are easy to access and download since they have been arranged in a given order.Based on their names, dates they were added to the store, version as well as number of downloads. You can get very modern themes on this app, for instance GTA 5 and also re-customize them. The wide variety of customization options available for WhatsApp Plus users is one-of-a-kind and they are only available on this application. It is for this reason that WhatsApp Plus is a very unique instant messenger.
Enhanced collection of stickers
One other feature you find on WhatsApp Plus that might seem less impressive but vital is the availability of exceptionally good emoticons. The emoticons you find on WhatsApp Plus are very similar to those on Google Hangouts. However, there is a drawback in using WhatsApp Plus emoticons as they will only show up if the recipient of your message is also using WhatsApp Plus.
Show/hide your online status
With prior versions of the app, it was very easy for your friends to know when you were online. This is because this application has a feature where it displays your online status. However, the new WhatsApp Plus version has other ideas with this feature as users can easily hide their online status such that other people won’t be able to know when they are online. In this way, your privacy is maintained as you are not compelled to reply to messages from friends who can see you are online.
The advantage of this ability to hide or show your online status is that if you choose to show your online status, you’ll also be able to see other people’s online status. However, the downside of choosing to hide your online status is that you also don’t see the online status of your friends and as a result, you won’t be able to know whether they are online or not. Better still, you’ll have your ‘last seen’ time hidden when your online status is also hidden, which give you more privacy.
Share larger multimedia files with WhatsApp Plus
The latest version of WhatsApp Plus lets users share files up to 50MB in quite an easy way. With the older WhatsApp, files have to be compressed in order to fit the size to be sent. However, this is not the case with WhatsApp Plus as there is enough room for relatively larger files like videos.
Other features you’ll find on the latest WhatsApp Plus include additional six menus that give you more customization options on the user interface. Using these menus, you can make changes on the headers, color and size of images as well as icons in your chats, header and size of your contact’s avatars; appearance of widgets, notification pop ups as well as the color of launcher icon. There is also an additional feature that lets users disable animation options and voice notes of your app.
As noted earlier, you cannot get WhatsApp Plus on the official Google Play Store and the APK file must be downloaded from the web and installed manually. Remember to first uninstall the other WhatsApp (if installed) before installing the new WhatsApp Plus since your conversations will be migrated to the new platform.
