In today’s article, he noticed that WhatsApp has developed another innovation to block shortcuts for unknown numbers. So, what kind of security measures did the instant communication platform take for unknown numbers? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.

WhatsApp creates shortcut to block unknown numbers from notification box

Instant messaging platform WhatsApp is among the most used applications with 424 million downloads. This platform, in which many people are involved, also presents some concerns in terms of security. WhatsApp is also working on new features to ensure the safety of users here.

According to the last feature, which is in the testing phase, a message from an unknown number can be blocked instantly. When you receive a message from a foreign number on WhatsApp, there will be a blocking option among the options to reply and mute in the notification box. In this way, users will practically prevent messages from strangers.

The reason for adding the blocking option of the instant communication platform only for unknown numbers is to prevent other people from doing this accidentally. On the other hand, WABetaInfo shared in its article yesterday that it can be done via the chat list, without having to enter their profile to block anyone. It is not clear when the two features tested on security will come to the stable version.

WhatsApp is also making an interface change for the Timed Messages section. In addition to this tested innovation, more than one person can be activated for the feature at the same time in the contact list in Timed Messages.
