You can restore GBWhatsApp to WhatsApp whenever you want. In this guide, we'll explain every step to help you export your chats from GBWhatsApp to WhatsApp seamlessly.

But first, let's understand which is better: GBWhatsApp or WhatsApp? This comparison will help you decide which app suits your needs best before diving into the steps on how to restore chats from GBWhatsApp to WhatsApp. Here we go!

Difference between WhatsApp and GBWhatsapp

whatsapp vs gbwhatsapp

Availability: Both WhatsApp and GBWhatsApp work on Android and iOS devices. WhatsApp is easily available for download from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, making it more convenient to install. On the other hand, GBWhatsApp requires you to download an APK file, which can be a bit more complicated.

Restrictions: GBWhatsApp offers more advanced features and fewer restrictions. You can share up to 90 photos at once and send larger video files up to 30MB. In contrast, WhatsApp only allows you to send up to 30 photos at a time. Plus, GBWhatsApp enables you to run multiple accounts on the same device, making it easy to switch between personal and business accounts, a feature not supported by WhatsApp.

Security: When it comes to security, WhatsApp has strong integration to ensure a safe platform for all communications, including confidential and crucial information. While GBWhatsApp is based on WhatsApp's design and offers similar security, its additional features provide less protection. Therefore, it's not recommended to use GBWhatsApp for official communications.
