Discover a fake Business WhatsApp on the Google Play Store

In the store Google Play Store has discovered a fake application under the name of WhatsApp Business. The official application of the same name for companies will only be launched in the future. In October it was reported that the beta version of WhatsApp Business was only available to selected users who are registered in a test program.

However, according to The International Business Times, the fake and potentially malicious application with the same name has already been downloaded from the store between 1,000 and 5,000 times.

This fact was reported by Twitter user @MujtabaMHaq on October 31, who posted on the social network that "before the original official application, an imitation application" of WhatsApp Business has been launched on the Google Play Store. This message was tweeted by the WABetaInfo account, known for filtering everything related to the popular instant messaging application.

Thanks for reporting, "wrote the account." Please, followers, do not download this application, it's false! WhatsApp Business is not yet officially available to everyone. Verify only official channels to download WhatsApp Business in the future. WhatsApp must ask Google Play to remove it as soon as possible. "
