Two new improvements that WhatsApp has unveiled are targeted at enhancing user privacy within the service. The first function on WhatsApp lets you silent incoming calls from unknown numbers, and the second effectively acts as a privacy check for users. Users of iOS and Android devices can now access the newly released features.
Silence unknown calls
Well this feature is well defined with its name. It allows its users to silent calls that are from unknown numbers. Given that WhatsApp is commonly used in India for both calling and messaging, this feature can be useful, especially if you dislike getting calls from unknown numbers.
You can enable by following these simple steps
Open WhatsApp and then open Settings. In the next step, go to Privacy Calls and the Calls. Finally select the option to Silence Unknown Callers.
Any calls from unknown numbers will be immediately silenced once you enable this option. However, you will still be able to see these calls in WhatsApp’s calls tab and in your notification centre. In this manner, you won’t be bothered and will still be informed of the caller’s identity.
