WhatsApp’s Latest Block Feature
This latest addition to WhatsApp’s arsenal empowers users to block all sorts of spam and unknown messages, from pesky lottery notifications to unsolicited ads. It covers messages from strangers or unwanted contacts who may be using new numbers to reach you. By enabling users to block messages straight from the lock screen or notification bar, this feature streamlines the process of dealing with unwanted messages.
To make the most of this new feature, here’s what you need to do:
