Can I use the same number on multiple devices?

Yes, with GB WhatsApp you can use the same phone number on multiple devices simultaneously. This is useful if you have multiple phones and want to use WhatsApp from all of them together.

To use your number on multiple devices:

  1. First register your phone number normally on your primary GB WhatsApp device.
  2. On your secondary devices, install GB WhatsApp and enter the same number during setup.
  3. GB WhatsApp will detect your number is already registered on another device and link your accounts.

Once linked, you can use WhatsApp seamlessly from all the devices together. Your chats and data will remain in sync automatically across devices.

Can I transfer my WhatsApp data from original to GB WhatsApp?

Yes, when you register your existing WhatsApp number on GB WhatsApp, it automatically starts syncing and transferring your chats and media from regular WhatsApp. This transfer happens in the background and may take some time if you have large media files.

To ensure smooth data transfer:

  • Do not uninstall original WhatsApp until the transfer completes on GB WhatsApp.
  • Keep both apps installed on your phone during the transfer process.
  • Use a stable WiFi or mobile data connection to allow uninterrupted data transfer.
  • Avoid using your phone excessively during the transfer.
  • Keep adequate storage space on your phone for your chat history and media files.

What happens to my existing WhatsApp account?

Your original WhatsApp account and data remain intact even after registering on GB WhatsApp. Your data is essentially synced across both apps allowing you to use standard or modded WhatsApp based on your preference.

Points to note:

  • You can continue using regular WhatsApp even after shifting to GB WhatsApp. Your chats/groups on original WhatsApp will stay as is.
  • Uninstalling WhatsApp after syncing to GB WhatsApp also deletes data from GB WhatsApp.
  • To use both apps in parallel, do not uninstall original WhatsApp.
  • Media transferred from regular WhatsApp to GB WhatsApp is not deleted from WhatsApp automatically.
  • Notifications and calls will come on both apps when using together.

Can I register with my existing WhatsApp backup?

Here is how to register on GB WhatsApp with backup:

  1. Install and register your number freshly on GB WhatsApp.
  2. When prompted, instead of syncing data from WhatsApp, tap Skip.
  3. Once registered, go to GB WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Chat backup.
  4. Tap Restore and select the latest backup file to import.
  5. GB WhatsApp will restore your chats and media from the backup file.

This method is faster than syncing all data again from your WhatsApp account. Make sure the backup file is recent to get your latest chats.
