Signing certificate
- Signed with Android's public test key This key is published with Android's source code, so anyone can sign a file with it.

GBWhatsApp APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is GBWhatsApp free?
The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
Is the GBWhatsApp APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. It is signed with Android's public test key, which anyone can use. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 141 different developers. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 494569954c0d5993a32fe50ce0a01ef1.
