The Use of Modified and Unauthorized Applications by Original Companies

Question
What is the ruling on using Gold WhatsApp and modified versions of WhatsApp, knowing that they allow the user to see deleted messages and statuses, and recently added the ability to edit messages?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible to use them if they do not cause harm to others or expose their secrets, and God knows best.
