Longer Status (250 chars) in GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
Post text statuses up to 250 characters — almost 2x the stock limit.
How it works
What Longer Status (250 chars) actually does
GB WhatsApp Pro raises the text-status cap to 250 characters, so a longer quote or update fits in a single post instead of being split across two or three.
Activation
How to enable Longer Status (250 chars)

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. Longer Status (250 chars) 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 Messaging section
Inside GBSettings, tap Messaging. Longer Status (250 chars) is one of the toggles in that panel. Tap to open its sub-screen.
-
Enable Longer Status (250 chars)
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.
