The long-awaited privacy feature from WhatsApp: No more messages from strangers!
The WhatsApp platform will start automatically blocking messages from strangers with its new privacy feature.
WhatsApp is bringing a new privacy-focused tool to its Android beta version. The popular messaging app will allow users to block messages from strangers. The new feature, which is currently being tested, will probably be available to all users very soon.
WhatsApp's new feature will work by monitoring various messages received from an unknown person in a short time. In this way, WhatsApp will understand whether the incoming message is spam and will automatically block them if necessary.
It should also be noted that the new feature will not be valid for all messages received from people you do not know, but will only be applied if the application detects inappropriate behavior in these messages.
If messages are received without this feature enabled, WhatsApp may also suggest the user to enable the item. However, no date has yet been given for the tool to reach the final version of the application. The feature, which is currently only being tested in beta for Android, is expected to come to all devices soon.
