WhatsApp works on an option that blocks incoming calls from unknown numbers for Android

March 6 (Portaltic/EP) –

WhatsApp is developing a feature that allows you to silence calls from unknown phone numbers through the app, a feature intended to prevent unwanted calls and has been seen in the latest beta for Android.

The company has been working for months on new features focused on privacy, which have been added to those already existing in this section, available in the menu of Profile settings.

So that users can decide who they want to receive phone calls from, WhatsApp is developing a tool called ‘Silence unknown calls’, as recently warned WABetaInfo in the latest beta version for Android.

This is an optional feature that can be turned on or off based on user needs and specifies that incoming calls will be silenced, even if they are will be displayed in the call list of the app with a notification.

WABetaInfo has also found another novelty in version 2.23.5.11 WhatsApp for Android a new notification that alerts users to the possibility of sharing files up to 2 GB in size through chats.

The company already extended the file limit in May of last year, although it has not been until now when it has introduced a ‘banner’ at the top of the interface indicating this. This appears when you attach a document.
