It will sound a little weird, but if you’re using WhatsApp Mods, you can’t have the Google Play Store updating feature work for you. It’s a third-party app, and that’s why you need to download a different update for every eager WhatsApp update to install it on your phone. Nevertheless, it’s not that complex to update FMWhatsApp, the WhatsApp mod version, about which we’re discussing here the updating procedure.
We’ve created this guide with two important procedures you can utilize to update the FMWhatsApp on your phone. Every new version includes new updated features, enabled privileges, and some recent bug fixes reported by millions of FMWhatsApp users. In that case, every new update will give you an upgrade of messaging technology and get rid of the old glitches or things you hated.
Note – FMWhatsApp is a WhatsApp Mod, not an official WhatsApp Messenger. That’s why you must have to update FMWhatsApp’s version on every WhatsApp’s play store update, as the Mods stop working after being outdated. The current version we’re having is the latest one is FMWhatsApp v9.62 and the next version would be updated as soon as the developer creates one. Until that, enjoy the simple methods to update FMWhatsApp below –

Methods of updating FMWhatsApp
There are two different methods to update FMWhatsApp and you can use any of them as per your convenience level. We feel the first method is the most convenient and trusted one, as it goes through the official download page of FMWhatsApp. You can download the latest updated version from there and later install it to your phone. Besides, we’ve got one more method, which goes directly through the app interface.
Choose any of the below techniques as simple as you want –
Method 1 – Downloading through official website
Our website offers you the official updates for WhatsApp Mods, even before the Google Play Store updates one for the official WhatsApp Messenger. In case of FMWhatsApp, you can follow the below method and find the latest updates for your FMWhatsApp Mod to download and install it later.
Before starting this procedure, it’s good to get a proper knowledge of the version you’re currently using of FMWhatsApp. This would help you the most as if you’re already using the latest version that we’re offering here, it’d save your time and old data by checking the version first. Not a big deal, just go through below steps to find on your own –
1. Open the FMWhatsApp on your android device.
H
2. Now, click the three-dot menu and open the Settings section from there.
I
3. Tap the Help button and it’ll open a menu soon.
J
4. Now, you’d see an option named App Info. Click it ASAP!

As you know very well about the FMWhatsApp version that you’re currently using, let’s get towards the first updating method –
1. Click this link here and you’ll get redirected to the official download page for FMWhatsApp.

2. Look at all the pages and you’ll find the version we’re offering as the latest one for FMWhatsApp.

R

You have successfully updated your FMWhatsApp app and now verify your old account. But before that, it’d be an important measure to restore the backup you created recently. Simply, get to the Downloads folder where you copied the FMWhatsApp folder while backing up data and move that folder back to the root folder of storage.
At the last point of FMWhatsApp verification, you’ll find an option to restore the recent backup and that’s where you’ll get all that data back on the updated version. Enjoy!
Method 2 – Using app interface’s Update feature
The last method you can use to simply update your FMWhatsApp’s apk version goes directly through the app interface.

Choosing among any of the above methods would sound somewhat complex as both these procedures include the exact amount of simplicity. One goes through a website and the other goes through an app interface. So, you need to choose one on your own as both are proper and legit procedures.
