If you're sick of getting unknown callers that are drinking alcahol slut sex videosusually spam calls on WhatsApp, there's a tool that lets you shun them automatically without having to battle them through fire and water, from the lowest dungeon to the highest peak.
The Meta-owned messaging app update called "Silence Unknown Callers" lets users do just that. SILENCE THEM. Calls from unknown callers won't actually ring on your phone, but will instead be visible in your list of calls in case it's someone you actually want to hear from.
"Silence Unknown Callers is designed to give you more privacy and control of your incoming calls," a WhatsApp blog post reads. "It helps to automatically screen out spam, scams, and calls from unknown people for increased protection."
