Spam calls! Nobody likes them, and phone companies are doing what they can to minimize them. People using WhatsApp are also prone to receive a ton of annoying calls throughout the day, but Mark Zuckerberg just announced a solution (Android Central). WhatsApp will automatically silence unknown callers.
A lot of people use WhatsApp as their main mode of communication. It’s one of the most popular messaging platforms in the world, and it’s got a ton of features to make using it a treat. However, this means that users are liable to receive a ton of spam calls throughout the day.
WhatsApp will silence callers from unknown numbers
Spam calls get so bad that, if you get a call from an unknown number, it’s most likely to be a spam caller. This is a huge bother because no one wants their day interrupted by a call from someone who they don’t want to talk to.
So, WhatsApp now has a solution. This is a feature that’s been in testing for a little while, and it’s finally making its way to the public. This feature will automatically silence incoming calls from unknown numbers. This will keep those numbers out of your way.
When this feature is enabled, your phone won’t even ring when getting these calls and you won’t see them. It’ll be as though they never happened.
Now, this is something that could backfire, as you can imagine. Blocking all of the calls can mean that you’ll miss calls from genuine people who you want to talk to.
However, you’re able to check your call logs for a list of the calls that came in. If you feel like you missed an important call, or if you just want to check up on your logs, you can check them out.
In order to enable this feature, you’ll want to go to your Privacy settings and tap on the Calls button. When you do that, you’ll be taken to a page with one option at the top. Once you flip that toggle, you’ll be blocking all of the unknown callers.
