WhatsApp has millions of active users, which is why this platform has also become a favorite app for cybercriminals. People are trapped and defrauded through WhatsApp. If you are also receiving frequent calls from unknown numbers and are fed up with them, let us tell you how you can silence these calls. If calls from unknown numbers are silenced, you won't be notified, and the call will be missed, thus preventing you from falling into the trap of fraudsters.

To protect you from unknown callers, WhatsApp offers a useful feature called Silence Unknown Callers. This feature automatically silences calls coming to your number, so you won't even know when a call comes in, because if you did, you might answer it. But when you don't know about the call, you'll miss it, and you'll be safe from falling into the trap of fraudsters. This feature is available for both Android and Apple iPhone users. Let's tell you how to turn on this feature.

WhatsApp Silence Unknown Callers: How Android Users Can Turn on the Setting
First, open WhatsApp.
Then click on the three-dot menu.
In WhatsApp settings, you will see the Privacy option.
Scroll down, and you will see the Calls option.
Here, you need to click on the Silence Unknown Callers option.
iPhone users will also find this feature in the Calls option within the Privacy section of WhatsApp settings. The advantage of turning on this feature is that if someone calls you on WhatsApp whose number is not saved in your phone, WhatsApp will automatically silence that call, and you will be safe.
