Remove WhatsApp Gold - malware from smartphone
You have been promised new emojis, a video call feature, or enhanced security options. If you clicked "Download" with great anticipation, malware is on your smartphone instead of a premium version of the messenger. WhatsApp recommends the following steps to remove the app:
- Delete WhatsApp immediately. This also removes the malware.
- Now you can reinstall the original. For your own safety, you can only download the authorized version of the application from the provider's website or in official stores such as Google Play, Microsoft Store or Apple's App Store.
- WhatsApp has announced that it will block users who have been identified WhatsApp Gold for 24 hours for their own security. If this is the case for you, you can only use your account again after the waiting period.
