The developers of the Meta-owned WhatsApp messenger are actively working on a new feature that automatically blocks a large number of messages from unknown contacts.According to WABetaInfo, this version is already available to users of the beta version of the messenger for Android with the number 2.24.20.16.The main purpose of this innovation is to fight against spam, which can be received by people unknown to the user. To find this feature in the beta version, you need to open "Settings", go to "Privacy", then select the "Advanced" menu and activate the option "Block messages from unknown accounts".It should be noted that the system will block messages that exceed a certain limit only so that users can receive useful messages from subscribers whose contacts they have not yet saved on their devices.The innovation should significantly reduce the number of spam messages, but at the same time, according to the source, it will likely miss various "profitable offers" and other promotional messages.
