For a while now, users seeking to soup up their WhatsApp experience have resorted to third-party clients like Yowhatsapp, WhatsApp plus and GBWhatsApp among many other modified apps to squeeze a little more functionality from the app. But Facebook, WhatsApp’s parent company really really doesn’t want people to do this, terming it a violation of their terms and conditions. As a result, many users have been banned from using WhatsApp for days, some even entirely having their accounts disabled for using these apps.
Today it seems as though the pressure has gotten to the developers of GBWhatsApp. They have announced that they are completely shutting down developments of the app but didn’t exactly site what caused them to do this. My guess, Facebook threatened, or did sue their sorry asses to oblivion.
