Custom Launcher Icons in GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
Swap the home-screen icon to disguise the app — useful on shared devices.
How it works
What Custom Launcher Icons actually does
Replace the home-screen icon with anything from a classic WhatsApp green to a neutral icon that does not look like a messenger at all. Handy when you share a phone or want one more layer of privacy. Change it any time without a reinstall.
Activation
How to enable Custom Launcher Icons
4 steps, ~2 minutes. Settings persist across app restarts and updates.

Install GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
If you haven't already, download the latest GB WhatsApp Pro APK from gbwhatts.pro and install it over the existing WhatsApp or as a fresh install. Custom Launcher Icons ships built-in — no extra modules or plug-ins.
-
Open the GBSettings menu
Open the app, tap the three-dot menu in the top right, pick GBSettings. Every GB WhatsApp Pro-specific feature lives under this menu — separate from the stock WhatsApp Settings.
-
Navigate to the Customisation section
Inside GBSettings, tap Customisation. Custom Launcher Icons is one of the toggles in that panel. Tap to open its sub-screen.
-
Enable Custom Launcher Icons
Flip the top toggle to ON. Most settings take effect immediately; a few (like custom themes or fonts) ask you to restart the app — accept the prompt and GB WhatsApp Pro reopens with the change applied.
