GB WhatsApp Login Problem Fixed (2025)

If you’re struggling to log into GB WhatsApp due to OTP verification errors or account bans, you’re not alone. Many users face this issue, especially after switching phones or reinstalling the app. But don’t worry — we’ve tested two reliable methods that still work in 2025 to get you back in. ✅

Fix GB WhatsApp Login Problem

📲 Method 1: OTP Verification (If Never Banned Before)

This method is for users who’ve never been banned by WhatsApp in the past.

  • Download & install the GBActivator app
  • Open the app, enter your phone number
GBActivator App UI
  • Request OTP → You’ll get a verification code
  • Enter the OTP and complete verification
  • Now install the latest GB WhatsApp APK (v18.45) over the activator
Open GB WhatsApp APK

✅ You’re in! Enjoy chatting with enhanced features

🧠 Pro Tip: This method won’t work if your number was ever banned by WhatsApp, even once.

🔗 Method 2: Link Device Mode (If OTP Fails)

If OTP verification keeps failing or your number is banned, this backup method is for you.

  • Install the GBActivator app
  • Tap on “Link as Companion Device”
Link as Companion Device Option

A QR Code will appear (Valid for 15 seconds!)

⚠️ The linked session auto-logs you out every 30 days. You’ll need to relink it monthly.

🧾 Final Tips

  • Always use the latest version of GB WhatsApp to avoid login bugs
  • Do not uninstall the official WhatsApp if using Linked Method
  • Use a secondary number if your main number is permanently banned
