Your WhatsApp account can be blocked if you have certain apps installed on your phone. You should better keep your hands off these applications.
- WhatsApp can lock you out of your account if you use certain apps on your phone.
- Modified versions of the original app such as Watusi or WhatsApp Plus are prohibited.
- You should uninstall these to avoid blocking your account.
Messenger WhatsApp reserves the right to block your account if you violate the terms of use. What you may not know is that using modified versions of WhatsApp is also a violation.
“Using an unauthorized app or an unsupported device violates our Terms of Service and may result in your account being suspended,” says the WhatsApp FAQ. The reason given by WhatsApp is that modified app versions cannot be guaranteed to comply with all security standards, such as end-to-end encryption.
However, WhatsApp does not reveal exactly which apps are banned in the FAQ. The Peruvian daily La Républica has taken the trouble to compile a list of prohibited modifications.
- WhatsAppPlus V25.20
- WhatsApp Plus AlexMods
- WhatsApp Plus Yessimods
- WhatsApp Plus Delta
- Fouad WhatsApp
- GB WhatsApp de SamMods
- WhatsApp Plus SamMods
- Yo whatsapp
- WhatsApp estilo iPhone
If you use one of these, you should quickly uninstall the app and use the official WhatsApp instead.

Please note, however, that the list does not claim to be complete. For example, the popular WhatsApp modification watusi for the iPhone is missing. Their use can bring you an account suspension.
