How to update GB WhatsApp
GB WhatsApp cannot auto-update through the Play Store, so updates are manual — but the process is quick and keeps your data. Staying current is not optional: anti-ban protection lives in the latest build, and older versions get detected over time.
- 1
Back up first
Inside the app: Settings → Chats → Backup. A 30-second habit that removes all update risk.
- 2
Download the latest APK
Get v18.80 from the download page — always the newest build.
- 3
Install over the old app
Open the APK and tap Install. Do NOT uninstall the old version first — installing over it preserves your data.
- 4
Open and verify
Launch the app. Your chats, settings and themes carry over. Done.
