WhatsApp Pink scam: What to look for and how to avoid
Just a few days back, a WhatsApp forward made rounds on the messaging app, which asked users to download a pink version of the app. The message involves a link and suggests that you can use a new version of WhatsApp with new features. The name of the app is “WhatsApp Pink,” which turned out to be a malicious app. It does seem to change the app’s colour.
When you click on the link, you are redirected to a page with an option to download the malicious WhatsApp Pink app on your phone. Once you install the clone of WhatsApp, it could steal your personal data and you might end up in a problem. Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia reported about this malicious app on Twitter and even shared a few screenshots showing the interface of the malicious app, which seems to be similar to the original app.
How to activate WhatsApp pink mode
To download this new version of WhatsApp, you must first make a backup in the original application.
Then, you need to download the Pink Mode APK file from a trusted source. Once downloaded, you must grant the necessary permissions on your device. Then you can proceed to uninstall the original application.
Once the above is done, you can access the WhatsApp Plus settings to change the color to pink and explore the new features offered by this personalized version of the best-known application.
