In a recent update, WhatsApp has rolled out a convenient solution for users to decline unwanted calls. The messaging giant, now under Meta's ownership, has implemented a feature that enables users to silence spam calls originating from unknown contacts. This functionality extends to calls made from numbers not stored in the user's contact list. The update, announced last week, is now available on the stable versions of WhatsApp's mobile applications for both Android and iOS platforms. Despite muting these calls, users will still receive notifications when they miss calls from unfamiliar numbers.
During a recent announcement, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced a groundbreaking addition to WhatsApp, empowering users to silence incoming calls from contacts they don't recognize. This new capability is presently accessible on stable versions of WhatsApp for both Android and iOS.
While users will still receive these calls and be notified of any missed calls they may have overlooked, muting calls from unknown numbers can help prevent disturbances by preventing them from ringing.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to put calls from unknown numbers on silent mode in WhatsApp:
Open WhatsApp on your smartphone.
Navigate to 'Settings' and choose the 'Privacy' option.
Within the 'Privacy' section, select the 'Calls' tab.
You will find the option to enable the 'Silence Unknown Calls' toggle.
For Android users, access the 'Settings' menu by tapping the three-dot icon. iPhone users can reach the 'Settings' menu by selecting the gear icon.
Furthermore, if users prefer to receive calls from contacts not saved in their address book, including spam calls, they can disable the 'Silence Unknown Calls' toggle.
Alternatively, users can opt to save these numbers in their contacts to ensure they don't miss any important calls from known numbers that are not saved.
