WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging platform, has added a new feature that enables users to silence unknown callers within the Settings menu. This feature was first reported in March, and the company has now introduced it with the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.10.7 update. The toggle to put unknown callers on silent mode is available in Settings > Privacy. Users can enable this toggle and mute calls from potentially spam phone numbers. However, these calls will still be visible in the Calls log and in the notification tab.
WhatsApp is reportedly planning to add several new features with new Android updates, some of which have only rolled out in the beta update for select beta testers. These features include a new UI with a bottom navigation bar, creating single-vote polls, and more. The company is testing a new feature for Android apps that will place icons in a bottom navigation bar, similar to WhatsApp for iOS. This new interface for the app will enable users to easily switch between different tabs.
The latest version of WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.10.7 update can be downloaded from the Google Play Store to access the new feature to silence unknown callers. Meanwhile, the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.10.6 update comes with a new user interface that provides Android users with an iPhone-like bottom navigation bar. This feature is currently only available to select beta testers, but will gradually become available to more users.
In addition to these updates, WhatsApp has announced several new features like creating single-vote polls, searching for polls in chats using filters, and getting notifications when people vote on polls. With single-vote polls, users will not be able to change their answers after deciding their vote on a poll once. This will help users gather data and make decisions more conveniently. Users can also add a caption to documents like a newspaper article or a working document before sharing. All of these features are rolling out globally and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
Overall, these new features and updates aim to make the WhatsApp user experience more seamless and convenient. The company is continuously working to improve its platform and provide its users with new and useful features. With the introduction of the new toggle to silence unknown callers and the new UI with a bottom navigation bar, WhatsApp is making it easier for users to manage their calls and navigate through the app.
