WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to silence calls from unknown numbers. The feature, which is currently being tested with a limited number of users, will be available in the Settings menu. Once enabled, the feature will automatically prevent WhatsApp from ringing for calls from unknown numbers. However, the calls will still be displayed in the call list and notification center, so you won’t be completely unaware of who tried to reach you.
Spam calls have been a major problem for WhatsApp for many years. In 2021, the company announced that it had blocked over 2 billion spam calls. However, the problem persists, and WhatsApp is constantly working on new ways to combat it.
The new feature to silence unknown callers is a welcome addition, and it should help to reduce the number of unwanted calls that users receive. It is unclear when the feature will be rolled out to all users, but it is expected to be available in the coming months.

Here are some tips for dealing with spam calls:
- Do not answer calls from unknown numbers.
- If you do answer a call from an unknown number, do not give out any personal information.
- Report spam calls to WhatsApp.
- Use a call blocking app.
- Be careful about what information you share online.
By following these tips, you can help to reduce the number of spam calls that you receive.
