WhatsApp lets users mute calls from unknown numbers

The Meta-owned instant messaging application, WhatsApp, is set to add a new feature allowing users to mute calls from unknown numbers. Those who are tired of getting unwanted calls from unknown numbers will benefit from the functionality when it is introduced in the upcoming months. The function is currently in development and will appear in the updated application. According to WABetaInfo, users will be able to mute calls from unknown numbers, but they will still be able to see them in their call log and notification center. Calls from unidentified numbers will be immediately muted once the new functionality is enabled. The change will be especially helpful in eliminating spam calls, which have recently become a significant issue. Users would benefit from an additional layer of security due to the option to mute calls from unknown callers. Moreover, WhatsApp is updating its iOS attachment menu. The new attachment menu will be similar to the one on WhatsApp for Android, giving customers a consistent experience across various platforms. KD/Expat Media
