Meta and WhatsApp are reducing unwanted messages and spam even further than currently. WhatsApp has safeguards that focus on reducing the number of spam messages received, but it is now introducing automated restrictions that focus on the root of the issue.
WhatsApp has introduced a new feature allowing users to block spam directly from their lock screens, streamlining the process of managing unwanted messages. With a simple long-press on the notification, users can instantly block the sender and report the contact. This update aims to enhance user control and security while addressing the ongoing issue of spam messages on the platform.
This time, the international WhatsApp fake calls started with +1 (404) which is the calling code of Atlanta, Georgia, +1 (773) which is the code of Chicago, Illinois, and more.
The platform, which has over 500 million users in the country, said it has ramped up its artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems to bring down such incidents significantly.
