On the official WhatsApp blog, the developers stated that they are against WhatsApp Plus and other modified apps, even asking users to uninstall them. If you continue to use them, your account could be suspended, first temporarily and then permanently.
“Unsupported apps, like WhatsApp Plus, GB WhatsApp, or those that claim to be able to move your WhatsApp chats from one phone to another, are altered versions of WhatsApp. These unofficial apps are developed by third parties and violate our terms of service. We do not endorse the use of these third-party applications, as it is not possible to validate their security practices,” the company wrote.
“If you received an in-app message that your account is temporarily suspended, it means that you are using an unauthorized version of WhatsApp instead of the official app. If after your account has been suspended you don’t start using the original version, you could be permanently banned.
