WhatsApp is reportedly working on a feature that will soon allow users to block messages from unknown people. Currently, the option to block that unknown user is available only when the message arrives, but it appears that after enabling the upcoming feature, messages from unknown senders will be blocked even before they arrive. According to a website that tracks WhatsApp features, the instant messaging platform says that this will improve the performance of the device and at the same time users will be able to keep their account safer than before. Let us tell you that recently WhatsApp started a special feature for the people of Delhi, in which people will be able to book their metro train tickets through WhatsApp. The platform has also joined hands with Delhi Police, under which challans will now be sent to people's WhatsApp.
Feature tracker WABetaInfo has spotted a new feature on WhatsApp Beta for Android, under which messages from unknown senders can be blocked. This feature has to be enabled from within the settings. According to the tracker, the feature has been spotted on WhatsApp beta version 2.24.17.24. As per the screenshot shared, the feature will be introduced under the name 'Block unknown account messages'. It has a toggle button, which appears to be off by default and users will be able to enable it through the settings.
The description of this feature reads, (translated) "To protect your account and improve device performance, WhatsApp will block messages from unknown accounts if they exceed a certain volume."
