Most Pakistanis
currently use WhatsApp for messaging purposes, which makes the programme the
most popular one in Pakistan. As of now, over 46 million people are active
users on WhatsApp monthly, and because there is no cost to use it, that number
can only grow even more.
After Facebook bought
out WhatsApp (and later updated it), they've experimented with new features
such as voice calling/video calls and Snapchat-eques stories. They're also
testing out different features such as group calling/video callings - which had
already been mentioned before being introduced.
Although
WhatsApp provides a lot of customization possibilities, many users would prefer
even more flexibility. The software has a number of limitations, and its
interface cannot be modified to suit each user's needs. If you'd like to personalize the app, there is an app called GB WhatsApp that can be used.
It was
created by veteran XDA member and is based on WhatsApp Plus which was shut down
by WhatsApp. You can modify how much control you want over WhatsApp using this
mod - some modifications include changing how often chats are synced or
modifying what notifications come up when chatting with others (turn off sound
alert or change it to vibrate).
