WhatsApp has announced a new update aiming to reduce spam calls and enhance user privacy. The update includes two features: Silence Unknown Callers and Privacy Checkup. Silence Unknown Callers allows you to mute calls from unknown numbers. The calls will still show up in your call list, so you can check them later if they are important. This feature can help you avoid unwanted interruptions and distractions.
Privacy Checkup guides you through various privacy settings that can protect your messages, calls, and personal information. By selecting ‘Start checkup’ in your Privacy settings, you can choose who can contact you, control your personal info, add more privacy to your chats, and add more protection to your account. This feature can help you customize your privacy preferences and secure your WhatsApp account.
