WhatsApp Begal

WhatsApp Begal o BEWhatsApp is a MOD for the famous instant messaging app that offers us a few design changes and focuses its functions on our privacy.

WhatsApp MOD focused on privacy issues

Modified versions of WhatsApp, commonly known as MODs, add various features to our popular instant messaging and chatting app. Some focus more on visual aspects, adding new themes and text fonts, while others like WhatsApp Begal aim to give us more control over our privacy.

Specific menu for privacy features

If you access the app's configuration menu, you'll see a section that deals specifically with privacy issues. The latter allow us to improve our control over how our contacts can receive our messages and view our activity. Of course, this does not affect how WhatsApp controls your activities in the application. But these are some of the most notable features:

• Ability to hide our online status (without giving up whether our contacts are connected or not).
• Possibility to hide our last seen time (without giving up that we see this information about our contacts).
• It is possible to disable the blue tick and enable it only when we reply to a message.
• Anti-Callback feature to view deleted messages.
• Ability to download status.

It was developed on top of the original WhatsApp so they both look the same although there are some design mods with softer and rounded lines on the chat screen.

You won't be able to find it in Google Play, of course, so you'll have to download it from Malavida if you want to use it on your Android.

Requirements and further information:

• Installing the app using the APK file requires enabling the "Unknown Sources" option in Settings > Applications.
