WhatsApp Plus LiteX: frequently asked questions
Everything people ask us, answered straight.
General
What is WhatsApp Plus LiteX?
An Android WhatsApp mod developed by Jesús Muentes that adds privacy features, anti-delete, HD media and customisation. It works with your normal number.
Is it the same as WhatsApp Lite or WA Lite?
No. They're different projects. LiteX is light, but its goal is to add features, not remove them.
Is it free?
Yes. There's an optional Premium with extras (OTA updates, per-contact privacy, beta features), but the free version is complete.
What languages is it in?
All official WhatsApp languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian and Arabic.
How often is it updated?
Frequently: whenever WhatsApp ships a new stable base or important fixes are needed. See the changelog.
Who makes LiteX?

Safety and your account
Is it safe to use WhatsApp Plus?
It's an unofficial mod, so it carries risks the official app doesn't. Only download from verified sources, don't grant odd permissions and, to protect your account, use it linked as a device.
Can I get banned?
Yes, the risk exists. LiteX has anti-ban protection, but its developer admits no mod guarantees zero risk. See how to lower it.
Is it legal?
It depends on your country and on WhatsApp's terms of service, which don't allow unauthorised clients. Using it may breach those terms. We're not lawyers: check your local rules if in doubt.
Why isn't it on Google Play?
Google Play doesn't accept apps that modify third-party services. That's why it installs as an APK.
Why does Play Protect say it's harmful?
Play Protect warns about almost any app not from the Play Store, especially mods. See how to install it anyway.
Are my messages still end-to-end encrypted?
LiteX is built on WhatsApp's own code, but because it's a modified client you're trusting the modder as well as WhatsApp. That's one more reason to download only the original file.
Installation and use
Which Android version do I need?
Android 6.0 or later. 2 GB of RAM or more is recommended.
Clone or Primary?
Clone lives next to official WhatsApp; Primary replaces it. If unsure, Clone. Comparison.
Will I lose chats when updating?
No, if you install the same variant on top. Back up first just in case.
Can I move my chats from GBWhatsApp or another mod?
It's possible but not guaranteed, because package and format change. Back up in the original mod first. Guide.
How do I uninstall LiteX?
Like any app: long-press the icon › Uninstall. If it's Clone, its local data is deleted; if you used it linked, your chats stay in official WhatsApp.
How do I hide "online" and blue ticks?
In ⋮ › LiteX Settings › Privacy: hide online, freeze last seen, hide typing and hide blue ticks.
How do I send HD photos?
Enable the HD options in LiteX's media settings and pick HD when sending.
Can I use two numbers on one phone?
Yes: keep one number in official WhatsApp and register the other in LiteX Clone.
Compatibility
Is there WhatsApp Plus for iPhone?
No. LiteX is Android-only. Be wary of sites offering "WhatsApp Plus for iOS".

Is there a WhatsApp Business version?
No. LiteX isn't based on WhatsApp Business.
Does it work on tablets?
