Are modified versions of WhatsApp safe to use?

I have seen many people using modified versions of WhatsApp. They use them because the modified version provides many features that the original WhatsApp does not provide. I have heard, some people say that WhatsApp modders can access and steal our internal storage. So, do they perform such activities? Is it safe to use these modified versions?

No, they are not safe to use, because they can steal your information and there are a bunch of mishaps that can happen to you, be careful while using one of such apps and I would recommend you to avoid such apps.
