jpnn.comJAKARTA – WhatsApp introduces a new feature that allows users to block messages from unknown numbers.

The feature is present in the new WhatsApp beta version for Android 2.24.8.11.

Discovered by WABetaInfo, Saturday (17/8), the WhatsApp beta feature blocks messages from unknown numbers, and allows users to automatically not receive messages from unknown numbers if the feature is turned on.

In the previous beta release, WhatsApp had a feature to turn off links from unknown numbers trying to contact them.

Additionally, it helps users avoid the risk of displaying their search activity to third parties.

Through the latest beta version, WhatsApp provides three steps to protect user privacy.

The first is to block messages from unknown accounts.

If this feature is activated, users can block messages from unknown accounts automatically, especially if the account frequently sends messages intensively within a certain period of time.
