How to Change Language in GB WhatsApp?

GB WhatsApp offers more customization features than the official WhatsApp, and one of the most useful options is the ability to switch the app's language. Whether English isn't your native language, or you simply prefer using GB WhatsApp in Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, or any other supported language, this guide will walk you through every step.
This detailed blog explains how to change the language in GB WhatsApp, how to fix common language-switching issues, and extra tips to optimize your experience.
Why Change the Language in GB WhatsApp?
Switching the language can significantly improve usability and comfort. Here are some common reasons users change their app language:
- Better readability if English isn't your first language
- Improved navigation when menus and settings match your preference
- Localized chatting for easier communication with friends or customers
- Enhanced accessibility for elderly users or beginners
- Business use, especially if you run GBWhatsApp for non-English-speaking audiences
With GB WhatsApp's built-in multilingual support, making the change only takes a few minutes.
How to Change Language in GB WhatsApp?
GB WhatsApp provides two different language options:
- Language for the interface (menus, buttons, settings)
- Language for typing / chat input (keyboard language)
Below are the detailed steps for both.
Change GB WhatsApp App Language from Settings
This changes the interface language.
Step 1: Open GB WhatsApp — Launch the app on your device and make sure you're using a stable version.
Step 2: Go to the GB Settings Page — Tap the three dots in the top-right corner. Select GB Settings (or "Mods" depending on your version).
Step 3: Select "General Settings" — Scroll down and tap General or General Settings.
Step 4: Tap "App Language" — Here you will find a list of supported languages such as: English, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Indonesian, Turkish…and many more.
Step 5: Choose Your Preferred Language — Tap your desired language, then restart the app to apply the changes.
Change Language from Phone Settings
Some Android devices force apps to follow the system language.
If your GB WhatsApp doesn't switch languages, try this:
- Open Settings on your phone
- Tap System → Languages & Input
- Select Language
- Add or move your preferred language to the top
- Restart GB WhatsApp
Your interface should now match the system language.
