Unfortunately, the WhatsApp terms of service say you must not "reverse engineer, alter, modify, create derivative works from, decompile, or extract code from our Services"

Of course if WhatsApp detected an abnormal or tampered version of the app, they can suspend or disable your account. I'm sure security labs that do reverse engineering of this sort probably do it on test handsets with burner numbers and identities so it wouldn't affect any personal accounts they use.
- incompatible 7y agoPerhaps, I just thought it was an odd thing for the head of WhatsApp to say: You don't have to take our word on this - just do this thing that we prohibit in our terms of service.
