GB WhatsApp Pro vs FM WhatsApp
FM WhatsApp (sometimes written "Fouad WhatsApp" after the original developer Fouad Mokdad) carved its niche by going deep on visual customisation. Where GB WhatsApp Pro covers customisation as part of a broader feature set, FM treats it as the headline. The theme creator inside FM is the most sophisticated in the mod scene — you can target individual UI surfaces (chat header, conversation bubbles, tick marks, app drawer) and persist your theme as a sharable .xml file. The downside: anti-ban routing has historically lagged GB WhatsApp Pro by 1-2 generations, so first-time mod users get banned slightly more often on FM than on GB.
