Get Ready to Install GBWhatsApp with an APK

The fact that GBWhatsApp is not an original application, but is born from a modification of WhatsApp; implies that we can’t find it in the Google app store: the Play Store. This is the main reason why this tutorial is based on using an APK file to download and install GBWhatsApp. However, this has another important implication that you must inevitably attend to before you can start this task.

Whenever we download an app or video game that doesn’t come from the Play Store, our devices “doubt” its reliability and prevent us from installing it as a protective measure. But this is something that can be easily solved by activating an option called “Unknown sources” u “Unknown origins“. It’s a question we’re going to teach you how to do right now.

Five steps to enable Unknown Sources:

steps to activate unknown origins

  1. Opens the Settings or Settingsmenu. It is easily identified by the symbol of a gear that you can find on the main screen of your device.
  2. Select the Securityoption. It is usually found in the section named“Personal”,and is identified with the symbol of a padlock.
  3. Get in the Device Managementsection. Without leaving the Security screen, scroll down a bit to locate yourself in the Device Managementsection; which is usually above the Credential Storagesection.
  4. Activate the Unknown Sources button. In this section you will see two options. Forget the first one, and notice how the second one has an activatable button that is surely oriented to the left; because this is their default setting. As long as it continues, the option is disabled, so slide the button to the right to activate it.
  5. Accept the warning message. As soon as you swipe the button to the right, a small pop-up window will open with a message to warn you that apps with unknown sources can be harmful to your device. Which is very true, but to continue you must click OK.

Please note that:

  • Depending on the manufacturer, on an Android device you can find the unknown sourcesactivable option; while in others you would find the origins unknown. Both are the same, only with a relatively different name.
  • After the installation is complete, don’t forget to turn this option off again to keep your device safe from potential unknown and malicious items.
