The Meta company, formerly known as Facebook, has recently implemented notable updates to its messaging application, WhatsApp. In a span of just a few days, two significant features have been introduced, namely group messaging management and blocking spam calls with ease.
The latest WhatsApp beta version 2.23.10.8 now allows members to report inappropriate messages directly to the group admin while in a group. This reporting function, similar to Facebook and YouTube, enables users to send the message to the admin by tapping on the message and selecting the report from the drop-down list. The purpose of this option is to promote a spam-free and secure conversation within the group.
Additionally, a new option has been added to the bottom navigation bar, which allows users to mute unwanted phone calls and numbers on WhatsApp. This feature was first introduced for Android users and is currently being tested by beta testers. The user interface has been redesigned, and the option has been added by bringing down the navigation bar, making it easier to access.
This feature is available in version 2.23.10.7 of WhatsApp beta. To mute spam phone numbers, users can go to the settings and navigate to the private menu. However, these numbers will continue to appear in the call log. This new feature was added to address the long-standing need for a more efficient way to block spam calls and numbers.
In summary, the Meta company’s recent updates to WhatsApp include improved group messaging management and a more user-friendly way to block spam calls and numbers. These features aim to enhance the user experience by ensuring secure and spam-free conversations within the application.
