WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app, offering numerous useful features to enhance user experience and ensure safety. Users are often bothered by calls from unknown numbers, but the app includes a fantastic feature to address this issue. Simply enable this feature, and it will automatically silence calls from unknown numbers, ensuring you aren't disturbed by them.

Since calls from unknown numbers can often be from scammers, this feature is incredibly useful. Even though the call is silenced, you will still see a record of the missed call from that number in the 'Calls' tab.

How to enable 'Silence Unknown Callers':
You can easily enable this feature on both Android and iOS devices. First, open the app.

Tap on the three-dot menu.
Select 'Settings' from the menu.
Go to the 'Privacy' section within WhatsApp Settings.
Scroll down slightly in the 'Privacy' section to find the 'Calls' option.

In the 'Calls' section, you will find the 'Silence Unknown Callers' option; tap on it to enable the feature.

Once enabled, the feature runs in the background, protecting you from spam and scam calls. Scammers often initiate their schemes to steal money only after you answer the call; by missing the call entirely, you stay safe, making it wise to keep this feature turned on.
