How to use this WhatsApp Feature
To benefit from this feature, users need to navigate to settings, click on privacy, and then select the option for calls. From there, they can enable “Silence Unknown Callers.” Upon enabling this feature, whenever a call is received from an unknown number on your account, the phone will not ring.
This new feature is expected to be particularly advantageous for users, as it eliminates the need to repeatedly ignore calls from unknowns.
