San Francisco: The meta company has been rolling out very positive changes to WhatsApp very quickly and has introduced two major features within just a few days. These include firstly group messaging and its management and secondly blocking unnecessary spam calls easily.
In WhatsApp beta version 2.23.10.8, while in a group, a member can report an inappropriate message directly to the group admin. It’s called ‘reporting’ just like Facebook and YouTube.
For this, your message can now be delivered to the admin by tapping on the message and selecting the report from the drop-down list.
The purpose of this option is to make the group spam-free and secure the conversation.
On the other hand, under another important change, users have added an option to the bottom navigation bar. Under this, unwanted phone calls and numbers can be muted on WhatsApp. This option has also been introduced for Android users earlier.
This important feature is currently being tested by beta testers. For this the user interface has been redesigned and this option has been added by bringing down the navigation bar.
This feature is introduced in version 2.23.10.7 of WhatsApp beta. For this, spam phone numbers can be silenced by going to the settings and going to the private menu. But these numbers will continue to appear in the call log. This is the reason why the need for this feature was felt for a long time.
