Did you know that you can silence Unknown callers on Whatsapp? Yes, that is true and this feature would allow you to block anyone who has called or contacted you in the past.
This feature was announced recently and is available on the stable versions of WhatsApp for mobile apps. But you need to have the most recent version of it to utilize it.
Here is how to silence Unknown Callers on WhatsApp
In an announcement last month, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a new feature that allows WhatsApp users to silence incoming calls from unknown contacts. The feature is currently available on stable versions of both WhatsApp for Android and iOS.
Users will continue to receive these calls, or a notification for a missed call. Silencing the calls from unknown numbers can avoid disturbances as these calls will not ring
1. Open the WhatsApp on your smartphone
2. Go to ‘Settings’, and select the ‘Privacy’ option
3. In the ‘Privacy’ option, choose the ‘Calls’ tab
4. Here, you can enable the toggle for ‘Silence Unknown Calls’
Android users can access ‘Settings’ by clicking on the there-dot option, while iPhone users can select the gear icon to reach the ‘Settings’ menu.
Users can also disable the toggle for ‘Silence Unknown Calls’ if they wish to continue to hear the calls from contacts that are not saved in their contacts, including spam calls.
It is also recommended to save useful numbers in your contact lists if you do not wish to miss important calls from known numbers that are not saved.
