WhatsApp Will Soon Let You Block Messages From Unknown Accounts

If you have used WhatsApp in the past, you might be familiar with all them spam. Thankfully, WhatsApp has had enough and is working on a new feature.

Spotted in a beta version, a new feature will allow you to “block unknown accounts”. To be specific, the feature will block messages from unknown accounts if they exceed a certain volume.

This is a great move by the company. Scammers are always looking for new ways to find people, and hopefully this will help filter out scam texts and bots.

The sad thing this isn’t a complete block – the feature will only kick on when you receive a certain amount of messages in a time frame. Thankfully, each user can select a number.

You would think with the introduction of AI it would be easier than this to block scammers. Heck, in 2023 people lost $10 billion to scammers. At least companies are trying their best.
