WhatsApp, the popular messaging app, has introduced a new feature that allows users to automatically silence calls from unknown numbers. This new feature is designed to help users reduce the number of spam and scam calls that they receive.
To enable the new feature, users simply need to go to Settings > Privacy > Calls and select the Silence Unknown Callers option. Once this option is enabled, any calls from numbers that are not saved in the user's contacts will be automatically silenced.
The silenced calls will still appear in the user's call history, but they will not ring or vibrate. Users can still view the details of the call, such as the caller's number and name, and they can choose to answer the call if they wish.
The new feature to automatically silence calls from unknown numbers is available for both Android and iOS users. It is currently rolling out to users, so it may not be available to everyone yet.
This is a welcome addition to WhatsApp, as it can help users to reduce the number of spam and scam calls that they receive. Spam and scam calls can be a nuisance, and they can also be a security risk. By automatically silencing calls from unknown numbers, users can reduce their exposure to these calls.
How to use the Silence Unknown Callers feature
To use the Silence Unknown Callers feature, simply follow these steps:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Tap on the Settings icon.
- Tap on Privacy.
- Tap on Calls.
- Toggle the Silence Unknown Callers switch to the On position.
Once this option is enabled, any calls from numbers that are not saved in your contacts will be automatically silenced. You will still see the calls in your call history, but they will not ring or vibrate. You can still choose to answer the call if you wish.
