You want to download the OPay app. You find two apps: one from the Google Play Store official OPay page, one from a WhatsApp link. Which should you use?

Google Play Store official page — verified app; WhatsApp links can lead to fake apps designed to steal credentials
WhatsApp link — faster download in most everyday cases as a general rule
Neither — only use USSD in this situation given the circumstances
Both are equally safe as a reliable approach in practical terms
