SP WhatsApp (also called SP WA) is a modified version of WhatsApp Messenger developed by SPMods Sandun. Built on top of the original WhatsApp APK, it includes dozens of extra features, customization options, and privacy controls that the official app simply does not offer.
From hiding your online status to sending files up to 1 GB, using custom themes, and running dual accounts — SP WhatsApp has grown into one of the most popular WhatsApp mods among Android users worldwide, with over 2 million active users today.
The latest version, , released in 2026, brings improved anti-ban protection, better media sharing limits, smoother performance on older Android devices, and new UI customization options. It is completely free to download and use — no subscriptions, no ads inside the app.

🔑
Login Methods — Which One to Use?
✅
Link Device Mode ✓ Recommended Open official WhatsApp → Linked Devices → Link a Device → scan the QR shown in SP WhatsApp. Your account remains registered on the official app and SP WA acts as a companion device. WhatsApp is far less likely to detect or ban you this way.
⚠️
Phone Number Login Higher Ban Risk You can also enter your phone number directly and verify with OTP. This works but WhatsApp may detect the modified client and ban your account. Only recommended for secondary numbers or if you accept the risk.
The anti-ban features in greatly reduce — but do not fully eliminate — detection risk. For your main number, always choose Link Device mode.
🔒

Appear completely offline even while actively using the app. No one sees your green dot.
👀

🔵
