YO WhatsApp Official FAQ 2025 – YOWA

A: Open YO WhatsApp → Tap the three-dot menu → YO Mods → Privacy and Security → Tick “Hide Online Status”. Once enabled, no one will ever see you online even when you’re actively chatting, typing, or recording voice notes. You can still see everyone else’s status normally. This is the strongest “ghost mode” available on any WhatsApp MOD in 2025.

A: Go to YO Mods → Privacy → Hide Second Tick (Blue Ticks). After turning it on, contacts will only see a single grey tick even after you’ve fully read their messages. You can still see blue ticks from others, and you can selectively enable blue ticks for specific contacts if needed.

A: First create a backup in YO WhatsApp (Settings → Chats → Chat Backup). Then uninstall YO WhatsApp completely, install the official WhatsApp from Play Store, verify the same number, and tap “Restore” when prompted. All your chats, media, and groups will appear exactly as they were in YO WhatsApp because both use the same database format.

A: YO Mods → Privacy and Security → Freeze Last Seen → Turn ON. Your last seen timestamp will stay frozen at whatever time you enable it (or you can set a custom time). Unlike the official app, nobody (not even contacts you allow) can see when you were last online.

A: On the old phone, go to Settings → Chats → Backup → Back Up to Google Drive + keep local backup. On the new phone, install YO WhatsApp from yowhts.com, verify the same number, and choose “Restore” from Google Drive or manually copy the /YOWhatsApp/ folder to the new phone’s internal storage before installing.

A: Settings → Chats → Chat Backup → Log in to your Google account → Set backup frequency (daily/weekly/monthly) → Tap “Back Up”. YO WhatsApp uses the exact same Google Drive system as official WhatsApp, so backups are 100% compatible and encrypted.

A: Go to Settings → Linked Devices – if you see an unknown phone/computer, log it out immediately. Also watch for sudden battery drain, high data usage in background, or strange call behavior. If you downloaded from yowhts.com and never shared your QR code, the chance of being spied on is almost zero.

A: Most common reasons: Google Play Protect is blocking it, “Unknown Sources” is disabled, or you downloaded a fake/old version. Temporarily disable Play Protect, enable Unknown Sources, and download only the latest signed APK from yowhts.com – installation will finish in seconds.

A: Go to phone Settings → Battery → Battery Optimization → YO WhatsApp → Don’t optimize. Also allow unrestricted background data and disable any VPN. The latest 2025 versions fixed delay issues completely when these permissions are granted.

A: Create backup in YO WhatsApp → Uninstall YO → Install official WhatsApp → Verify same number → Restore backup. All messages, media, and groups transfer perfectly because YO WhatsApp uses the official WhatsApp database structure.

A: Open the chat → Tap the contact name at the top → Scroll down → “View Contact” → Three dots → Delete Contact. The contact disappears from both YO WhatsApp and your phone’s address book.

A: YO WhatsApp is independently developed and maintained by Yousef Al-Basha (Spain), one of the most respected MOD developers since 2016. It has no connection to Meta or official WhatsApp.

A: Open any browser → type https://wa.me/91xxxxxxxxxx (replace with number) → Tap “Message” → It opens YO WhatsApp directly. Or inside YO WhatsApp: New Chat → Three dots → “Message a number”.

A: Force stop the app → Clear cache → Restart phone → Check internet → Update to latest version from yowhts.com. 99% of “down” issues are fixed by clearing cache and updating.

A: Put asterisks around the text: bold → appears as bold. Works in chats, status, and groups.

A: Tap attach icon → Document → Select any video up to 1 GB. It sends in original quality without cutting or compression.

A: Settings → Account → Delete My Account (full logout) or simply clear app data/uninstall for quick logout.

A: Download the main YO WhatsApp + the second package (com.yowhatsapp2) from yowhts.com. Both run side-by-side with different numbers.

A: YO Mods → Privacy → Hide Online Status → Enable. You become completely invisible while using the app 24/7.

A: 4000+ themes, full privacy control, 1 GB file sharing, built-in status downloader, anti-delete messages, message scheduler, strongest anti-ban engine, and weekly updates from Yousef Al-Basha.

A: YO Mods → Privacy → Enable “Show Online Toast” → Get popup every time selected contacts come online.

A: Use Android’s built-in screen recorder or any third-party call recorder – YO WhatsApp does not block recording.

A: Use virtual/temporary number apps (TextNow, 2ndLine, etc.) + install YO WhatsApp with that number.

A: Yes! Open YO WhatsApp on second phone → Settings → Linked Devices → Scan QR code from first phone.
