WhatsApp, the popular messaging app, is testing a new feature to enhance user security. Recently, the platform has been experimenting with event creation options for community groups, and now, it is moving forward with a privacy feature that allows users to block messages from unknown accounts.
With the latest WhatsApp beta version 2.24.17.24 for Android, this new privacy feature has been revealed. WhatsApp aims to reduce spam and unwanted messages, ultimately improving the user experience and device performance through this feature.
When enabled, the “Block messages from unknown accounts” option will automatically block messages from accounts that exceed a certain threshold of message volume. This will protect users from unwanted or potentially harmful interactions. Additionally, the feature is designed to reduce the amount of data the app needs to process, optimizing its performance.
