WhatsApp first emerged as a messaging app. After a while, innovations were added and features such as calling and video calling were added. However, calls made via WhatsApp disturb users from time to time.
In particular, WhatsApp calls from unknown numbers pose a security threat. WhatsApp is also working on the “mute unknown callers” feature to prevent this. So how will this feature work? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
WhatsApp mute unknown callers feature will provide security
According to the blog post shared by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is working on the mute unknown callers feature that will prevent calls from unknown numbers. According to this feature, WhatsApp will accept and mute calls from unknown numbers. However, these searches will still appear in the search history or notifications.
The instant communication platform wants to prevent its users from being disturbed in this way. Although the function is activated, the same will not be true for the additional phone. This feature will be available for the app only.
Before introducing this feature, WhatsApp surveyed its users whether they had ever received spam calls. It will improve the experience of users who receive large amounts of spam calls on the platform. WABetaInfo quoted the following words on the subject:
“This new feature can also help users significantly reduce spam calls. In recent years, spam calls have become a growing problem among scammers and their spam calls.”
The mute unknown callers feature for WhatsApp is currently being tested in beta version of iOS 23.5.0.70. In case of innovation, the new feature will be activated from the Settings section.
