- Unpatched Vulnerabilities (CVE Risks): Version 6.0.1 predates major security overhauls. In 2018, a critical vulnerability (CVE-2019-11931) was discovered that allowed attackers to install spyware simply by placing a malicious GIF in a status. Versions before 2.19.244 are vulnerable. 6.0.1 is a sitting duck.
- No TLS 1.3 Support: Modern WhatsApp uses perfect forward secrecy. The 6.0.1 client uses older SSL/TLS protocols that are theoretically decryptable by modern computers.
- Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: Because the certificate pinning was weaker in 2015, a hacker on the same public Wi-Fi could potentially intercept your messages on this legacy version.

- The Classic Green Interface: This was before Meta (then Facebook) flattened the design. You get the iconic dark green action bar at the top.
- No Status 'Stories': The current "Status" tab (which mimics Instagram Stories) did not exist. Instead, the old "Status" feature was purely text-based—like a personal away message.
- Basic Text Formatting: Bold, italics, and strikethrough were available, but there were no reactions, polls, or disappearing messages.
- Limited Media Sharing: You could send images and videos, but the file size limit was a mere 16MB compared to today's 2GB limit. Voice notes were capped at 2 minutes.
- Last Seen & Blue Ticks: These privacy features existed, but you could not hide your "Last Seen" from specific contacts—only globally (Nobody/Everyone/My Contacts).
- No Chat Lock: The archive feature was present, but the biometric lock for specific chats was years away.
- Package name change (e.g.,
com.whatsapp601) - Disabled analytics & tracking
- Spoofed signature
