WhatsApp Now Allows Users to Block Spam Directly From Lock Screen Here Are Steps to Enable Feature

A useful new feature has been added to WhatsApp through which the user will be able to block the spam calls coming on WhatsApp from the phone’s lock screen itself. That is, the user will not need to go into the app for this. It is often seen that users often get disturbed by spam messages or calls in messaging apps like WhatsApp. In such a situation, this new feature of Whatsapp is going to give great relief to the users. How you can activate it in your WhatsApp, full information is being given below.

WhatsApp’s new feature allows users to identify and block spam messages without having to unlock the device or go into the app to block the spam. Let us tell you how this feature works. Whenever a spam message notification appears on the lock screen, the user has to long press on that notification, which opens up several options. One of these options is to block the sender immediately. After blocking, the messaging app also shows another prompt in which the blocked sender can also be reported.

However, when you receive a call or message from an unknown number on WhatsApp, you are shown the option to add it to the contact list, block it, or report it. However, if you want to block a contact, follow these steps – Go to Settings > Privacy > Blocked contacts > Add >. Here, search or select the contact you want to block.

WhatsApp is soon going to have a feature in which messages can be sent on other platforms as well. For example, if someone wants to message you from Instagram, then that message can also be received on WhatsApp. For this, a section of Third Party Chats is going to be available in the app soon. Messages received from other platforms will be shown in it.
