Insights LogicalShout refers to a resource website that provides latest news, views and insights into the latest gadgets and apps.
It has an informative and useful ‘latest News’ section, but it also seems to promote some highly suspicious apps.
In this Innocams blog post let’s find out what this site is all about and should you accept its recommendations or reject them downright.
Table of Contents
What is LogicalShout?
On its homepage, logicalshout.com declares in big fonts that its mission is to provide its users with downloadable various WhatsApp mods (third-party WhatsApp).
From the About Us page of logicalshout.com, I learned that it was founded in 2018 by Pradip Singh, who is now the founder and CEO of the company.
The site authorities promise that their mission is to help people find the right gadget at a desired price point. They went on to add that every product that features on their site is well-researched and thought upon.
Really?
My analysis of the site told me a completely different story. I’ll discuss this in detail later. First let’s see what this site has to offer.
LogicalShout Website Sections
On the homepage, Insights LogicalShout has five main sections apart from Contact and a language button.
They are GENERAL, GBWHATSAPP, YOWHATSAPP, FMWHATSAPP, WHATSAPP PLUS.
LogicalShour: The General Section
The general section carries the latest news and the topics covered are varied and interesting. Articles on tricks to get the most out of casinos and must-have features of real estate management software are good reading and informative.
Almost all articles in this section are long-form byline stories and carry eye-catching and complementary high-res photographs.
Unusual articles like how to find someone’s surname when you only know their first name make really interesting reading.
LogicalShout: Article Logic
But though the articles are interesting, they are not very logically placed. For example, what is finding out someone’s surname doing on a site that deals with WhatsApp clones and news on latest gadgets?
There are many articles on this section that suffer from this irrelevance.
LogicalShout: Article Quality
Many articles in the general section on this Insights LogicalShout are blatantly promotional.
For example this article on how to select the right accident injury lawyer in Texas. After a boring intro, the writer directly names one lawyer firm as the best, that too, in the last line of the intro.
This severely detracts from the credibility of the article and one will wonder what is the point reading it as it is clearly a promotional copy.
All stories on this site are difficult to read. here is the readability score of this lawyer article:
The System | Readability Score |
Average Reading Level Consensus | Difficult. |
Automated Readability Index | Difficult. |
Flesch Reading Ease | Difficult. |
Gunning Fog Index | Difficult. |
Forcast Readability Formula | Difficult |
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level | Fairly Difficult. |
Almost all articles on this site suffer from this bad readability trait. Many of them are totally irrelevant to the declared mission and vision of the company.
Now I’ll analyse the other sections on this site for you.
If I was disappointed with the quality and relevance of the latest news in the general section, I was stunned by the other four sections, each of which promoted an illegal and dangerous WhatsApp clone.
Let’s take them up one by one.
Insights LogicalShout: GBWhatsApp
What is GBWhatsApp?
GBWhatsApp is a modified version of original WhatsApp developed by a third-party. This mod has more features like sending more photos, viewing deleted messages etc.
Features of GBWhatsApp
- You can send more photos than what the original WhatsApp application allows.
- You can customise themes.
- You can send automated replies.
- You can view deleted status updates.
Why People Use It
Users, who are interested in additional features as mentioned earlier usually get carried away by this mod and download it, running the risk of downloading harmful software.
Risks of Using GBWhatsApp
Risks of downloading and using this mod are many. I’ll save a detailed discussion on it later in this blog post. Here two main risks are mentioned
.
- WhatsApp may permanently ban your account if it comes to know that you are using this mod. And WhatsApp now uses the efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI), so detection is almost certain.
- You can’t download such mods from legitimate platforms like Google Play Store or Apple Store. You will have to download the APK versions from sites with questionable intentions.
Insights LogicalShout: YOWhatsApp
The next WhatsApp mod insights Logical Shouts promotes is YOWhatsApp. Let’s take a look at it.
What is YOWhatsApp?
YOWhatsApp, also known as YOWA is another mod of the original WhatsApp, offering additional features that the original messaging service doesn’t provide.
Features of YOWhatsApp
LogicalShout lists a few features of this WhatsApp clone that are not found in the original messaging platform. They are:
- You will get a lot of fonts to choose from, experiment with them and select the one that best suits your taste.
- You will get much more emojis in the clone than the original version.
- YOWhatsApp supports many file formats the original WhatsApp does not. This will give you a wide range of options of sharing different file formats as the need be.
- You can send and receive large files as there is no file size limit in this mod, which the original WhatsApp has.
Cons of YOWhatsApp
Again, a detailed general discussion on the risks of using such mods is coming later in this blog. The main cons are the same as that of GBWhatsApp.
Insights Logical Shout: FMWhatsApp
Insights LogicalShout also promotes another WhatsApp mod namely, FMWhatsApp.
What is FMWhatsApp?
This is another modified WhatsApp clone with some additional features that aren’t present in the original app. This is, of course, an unofficial mod developed by a third party.
Features of FMWhatsApp
This mod has a number of user-friendly features. Some of them are listed below:
- A huge theme library. You can customise your app in several interesting ways. New themes are added regularly.
- A huge emoticon library. You can use emojis in a more customised and effective way.
- Unlike the official WhatsApp, this mod allows large file sharing. There is also no limit to how many images you can share, a feature WhatsApp lacks.
- Even if a sender deletes a message for everyone, you can still view the message utilising this mod’s anti-delete feature.
Cons of FMWhatsApp
The same as the previous two. Additional cons will be discussed later in this story.
Insights LogicalShout: WhatsApp Plus
WhatsApp Plus is the final WhatsApp mod that insights LogicalShout promotes.
What is WhatsApp Plus?
WhatsApp Plus is another mod of the original WhatsApp with some additional features. Like previously discussed mods, this improves user experience but has security risks inherent in it.
Features of WhatsApp Plus
- You can customise many functionalities of this mod, like themes, emojis, etc.
- You can view the items deleted for everyone by the sender.
- This mod allows transfer of much bigger files than the original WhatsApp.
Cons of WhatsApp Plus:
The cons of this mod is similar to the early three mods discussed. Security risk and the risk of incurring WhatsApp’s wrath. Besides, you can’t download it from any legit platforms like Google Play Store and Apple Store.
Disadvantages of WhatsApp Mods
No matter how high-pressure selling technique Insight LogicalShout adopts, it is never recommended to use these mods instead of the official version. There are several cogent reasons for this warning. Some of them are listed below:
No Official Rubber Stamp
These mods have no approval from WhatsApp. On the contrary, WhatsApp clearly says that they violate its terms of service. It issues three stern warnings:
- Terming these mods as fake, WhatsApp states that they carry malware that can steal your data and harm your device.
- There is no guarantee that if you use these mods your privacy and security will not be compromised.
- On detection, your account may be permanently banned by WhatsApp.
No Official Updates
Since WhatsApp doesn’t approve such mods, you will not get any updates from the official WhatsApp servers, including security updates.
No Authentic Downloading Platforms
Also you cannot download these modded versions from authentic official platforms like Google Play Store or Apple Store.
You will have to download them from unofficial sites and there will always be the risk of downloading dangerous malware.
Quite Meaningless Now
WhatsApp has added over time almost all the features it lacked and that had made these mods popular. So these days there is no point going for a risky mod instead of the official WhatsApp.
Maybe, one or two will have a few useful features, but the security concern of downloading them far outweighs those few features.
What Insights LogicalShout Says
Insight LogicalShout amazingly maintains a confusing double standard regarding the use of these mods.
No doubt it promotes these mods heavily and is trying to goad everyone to go for these modded versions of WhatsApp. But at the same time it seems to talk with both sides of its mouth on the security matters.
Sometimes I find it almost uncanny. I’ve never seen so many contradictory statements on a website in my life.
Here is what it says about the security issues regarding each of the mods it tries to promote.
On GBWhatsApp Security Issue
After going ga-ga over the outstanding features and why should you download them, The site authorities says:–
- GBWhatsApp is illegal. It doesn’t conform to WhatsApp terms of service.
- The Mod was developed without permission and your account may get banned.
- Some APKs contain hidden malware and viruses.
- It uses an unknown server.
On YOWhatsapp Security Issue
Here you get more or less the same treatment. The site elaborately enjoin you to download the mod and end the sales spiel with these shockingly contradictory warnings:
- It cannot be backed up. Google Drive will not touch it. So you are on your own.
- This is not an official version and hence there is a threat to security and privacy.
- It is illegal to use this mod.
On FMWhatsApp Security Issue
Again a high-pressure sales tactics and then these warning bringing up the rear:
- You have to download it from an unknown server and there will be security threats to the users’ information and device.
- It is banned in many countries.
On WhatsApp Plus Security Issue
The same carrot and stick stuff here too. An avalanche of eulogies and then severe warnings.
- It is difficult to install.
- You will not find any reliable site to download it from. So there will be a security threat.
- It is illegal and banned in many countries.
I don’t know whether to cry or laugh after reading this kind of stuff as insights from LogicalShout.
Conclusion
Insights LogicalShout means insights into latest gadgets news and some illegal modded versions of the official WhatsApp messenger.
This analysis proved two things, content on this site, at least some of them, are quite interesting. But there are also many irrelevant articles. Also, the writing quality is not very good.
But the most striking part is, this site promotes a few WhatsApp mods that are completely illegal, banned in many countries and may carry dangerous security and privacy threats.
