WhatsApp new tool to give people more control over the calls they receive
The ability to silence unknown callers allows users to mute calls from unknown phone numbers.
Meta-owned instant messaging application WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a new privacy feature to silence unknown callers, and it’s available to some beta testers.
“Thanks to this feature, WhatsApp provides users with a tool to better control their privacy and improve their user experience by avoiding unwanted calls from unknown people,” WABetaInfo reported. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for 2.23.10.7 update, we can confirm that the feature is rolling out to some beta testers.
According to the report, some beta testers can silence unknown callers and the toggle is located right within WhatsApp Settings > Privacy. The ability to silence unknown callers allows users to mute calls from unknown phone numbers, but they will still appear in the Calls tab and in Notification Center.
With this feature, WhatsApp is introducing a new tool to give people more control over the calls they receive. It reduces the risk of falling prey to scammers and mutes unwanted calls allowing you to focus on your work or other important tasks.
The report suggests that it is certainly a useful tool that allows users to add another layer of privacy to their accounts. The ability to silence unknown callers is available to some beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store, and is being rolled out to more users in the coming days.
WhatsApp is testing a new feature that automatically plays GIFs. Currently this feature is only available to select beta testers. Previously, users needed to tap on the GIF to start the animation, but after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android or iOS, the GIF will play automatically as you scroll through the conversation.
This feature is available to some beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app.
