WhatsApp Now Enables Users to Block Unknown Callers to Combat Spam and Scam Calls.

By LOSHINNIY NAIR BASKARANWednesday, 21 JUNE 2023-WhatsApp has recently introduced a new update that provides users with the option to mute calls from numbers that are not saved in their contacts.According to the company, the ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ update is designed to provide users with enhanced privacy and greater control over incoming calls.One potential benefit of this feature is that it can assist in filtering out unwanted or potentially harmful messages and calls from unfamiliar sources, thereby enhancing your overall security. According to a blog post by the company on June 20, the calls will not ring on your phone, but will still be visible in your Call list, in case they are from someone important.WhatsApp offers a feature to silence unknown callers by clicking Settings > Privacy > Calls > Silence unknown callers. Users can contact the caller or send a message, but silenced calls will not be available in the future. Blocking unknown numbers can also be done.Source :WhatsApp now lets users silence unknown callers to prevent spam and scam calls | The Star
