Whatsapp PLUS is basically not just another messenger app.

Whatsapp PLUS is APK of original whatsapp with Modded Stylesheet files.

In Android APK, Stylesheet information is NOT ENCRYPTED but the codes are encrypted.

So what happen when you send message on Whatsapp PLUS?

Message is sent directly to whatsapp servers in a same way original whatsapp do.
And Technically message can not be forwarded by any Third party service because Whatsapp use MAC address and special Encryption Key assigned to per device to verify authenticity.
So messaging is SERVER BASED process. and can't be Modded.

So How whatsapp PLUS provides extra features as Hide Online status etc?

This information are transmitted to Whatsapp server by Device.
for example when you open Whatsapp.
Activity whatsapp.open is recorded by whatsapp servers.
Modded version of whatsapp Prohibits this info transmission to whatsapp server so they treat you as offline.
so this is DEVICE BASED operations. and can be modified.

Android is open source platform so Modding of Device Based process and components is possible (FYI Whatsapp PLUS exclusive for Android)

reason they can not white label their app is copyright issues.

You should run Anti Spyware Scan to be double assure.

Conclusion : you can use Whatsapp PLUS after running Anti-virus scan and by downloading from trusted blogs.
