Instant messaging platform WhatsApp has announced the development of a new feature to block messages from unknown accounts, which is scheduled to be launched in a future update.
When this option is enabled, WhatsApp will automatically block messages from unknown accounts if they exceed a certain size, protecting users from unwanted or malicious communications.
This feature will also improve the device’s performance by reducing the flow of unwanted messages that may stress the application, as these accounts can overwhelm users with a large amount of messages in a short period, which may negatively affect the device’s performance.
By enabling the ability to block messages from unknown accounts, the feature will significantly reduce the amount of data the app needs to process.
