WhatsApp can now automatically silence unknown callers
With a new update, WhatsApp wants to make spam calls less annoying and let users select the optimal privacy settings, the company. The first feature, called Silence Unknown Callers, does exactly that — the calls won't ring on your phone, but will appear in your call list, in case the call is important but you have to respond. For most users, that should offer a decent blend of practicality and privacy.
And speaking of privacy, WhatsApp also introduced a feature called Privacy Checkup."Selecting ‘Start checkup’ in your Privacy settings will navigate you through multiple privacy layers that strengthen security of your messages, calls, and personal information," the company said. Doing so provides options like"Choose who can contact you,""Control your personal info,""Add more privacy to your chats" and"Add more protection to your account.
