Features of YoWhatsApp Apk

Below is the list of YoWhatsApp features. However, most of the features are the same as GB WhatsApp and WhatsApp Plus. But, there are some unique and new features also available in this app.

1. Send Large Media Files: One of the biggest drawbacks of official WhatsApp is that it limits the file size. However, you can send documents, audio, video, and photos on WhatsApp. But, with this app, you can send videos up to 700 MB. So, if you want to send large files over WhatsApp, you should try this app.

2. Send Image Without Compression: When you send any photo on Whatsapp, it reduces its size and quality. With YoWhatsApp, you can send photos without compression. But, this feature is not so useful. Because you can send original size image in official WhatsApp application.

3. New Privacy Options: However, WhatsApp added new privacy features in its new updates. But, in YoWhatsapp, you will see a lot more privacy features. These privacy features are useful. You can show/hide last seen, double ticks, blue ticks, online status, typing status, and recording status.

4. Inbuilt App Lock: Most people installed third-party app locker apps to lock the WhatsApp application. But, YoWhatsApp has its own inbuilt app lock option. Also, you can lock the whole app, and lock the chat threads individually for specific contacts. It supports Password, Pattern, Pin, and Fingerprint Lock.

5. Make, Change, and Save Themes: In YoWhatsApp, you can change its theme. So, this option is quite useful, because everyone loves themes and has a different color taste. Apart from this, you can make your own theme and save it in zip format. After that, the saved theme can be used on different phones. However, WhatsApp doesn’t provide any option for themes. But, here is the trick to changing WhatsApp theme and color.

6. Message a Number: With this option, you can send a message to any number without saving it in your contacts list. You can directly send a message to any number that is registered on WhatsApp.

7. Hide WhatsApp Media Files From Gallery: You can hide WhatsApp photos and videos from the gallery. However, you can hide WhatsApp media files from the gallery with the file manager app. But, this option is quite easy.

8. Convert video to GIF Up to 30 seconds: WhatsApp allows up to 6 seconds of the video to convert to GIF. But, in YoWhatsApp, you can convert video to gif up to 30 seconds.

9. Show Blue Ticks After Reply: This option is quite useful. Because your friend will see the blue ticks only when you reply.

10. Updates: Yousef Al-Basha updated YoWA when the official Whatsapp update was available in PlayStore. So, you get all new features from WhatsApp without worrying about it.

11. Background Image option: You can set any image as a chat background in this app. So, if you’re a customization lover, this feature is best for you. It also enhances your experience while chatting.

12. Call Block: If you’re tired of WhatsApp calls, then this option makes you happy. Sometimes, someone irritates by calling on WhatsApp and you can’t block a particular contact on WhatsApp from calling. But, if you’re using the Yousef YOWA apk, you can block the calls from specific contacts.

13. Chat Bubble: You can change the chat screen as you want. So, after the theme feature, this is another feature for customization lovers.

14. White navigation bar: If your smartphone runs on Android 8.0 or higher, then you can change the navigation bar color. Well, if you have a lower version of Android, you can’t use this option.

15. Emoji Variants: Well, most emojis lovers love this mod apk only because of emoji variants. You can change the emoji style with YoWhatsApp. It supports iOS, Facebook, Twitter, Emoji One, and Android-style emoji variants.

16. Copy Chat Conversation without Date/Time: In the official WhatsApp application, when you copy the chat conversation, it copies the date and time of the chat conversation by default. But, YoWA removes this option and you can copy the chat without the date and time.

17. Zoom Profile Pic: Well, you can’t zoom the profile picture in the official app. But. YoWA allows zooming the profile picture by double tapping on it.
