WhatsApp finally listened to its users and added a feature to automatically silence calls from unknown numbers. We tell you all the info here!
One of the best known and used messaging applications is WhatsApp, which slowly incorporates new functions with its updates, and one of the last to be added gives us the possibility of automatically silencing calls that come from unknown numbers. But this is not the only thing that was added, since there is another function that you will probably be interested in.
The first addition to WhatsApp It is the one that we already mentioned, the possibility of automatically silencing calls from unknown numbers or contacts. To activate it, you just have to go to Settings, Privacy and Calls. There we will see the only option Silence calls from unknown numberswhich we can activate simply by pressing the button.
This does not mean that you will not have a notification that someone wanted to call you, but that it will not ring when the call comes in. Something that also clarifies WhatsApp is that if you decide to contact by message or return the call to the number that contacted you, this will no longer be considered an unknown number and the next time it calls you your smartphone will ring.
The other function that is added is that of Privacy review. If you go to Settings, Privacy A kind of message bubble will appear above everything with the legend privacy review. When selecting it, it redirects us to a new screen where we have four options: Select who can contact you, Control your personal information, Add more privacy to your chats and Add more protection to your accounts.
Each option of course includes other options, but as their names clarify, each one allows us to choose which elements we want to keep private and which others we want to remain public. Both functions are already available in WhatsApp so if you want to customize your privacy a bit we recommend that you go to your application and see the available options.
