REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — WhatsApp recently launched a feature that will be useful for its users. This Meta-owned platform introduces the Silence Unknown Callers feature to silence unknown callers.

The Silence Unknown Callers feature is specifically made to increase user privacy. In addition, this feature will also provide better control over incoming calls.

Its main function is to automatically filter spam, scams, and calls from unknown contacts, in order to provide an extra layer of protection. When enabled, such calls will not disturb the user with ring notifications. Instead, the call will be registered in the WhatsApp Call log, so that the user can check later, if the call is from someone important.

So, if you also want to use the Silence Unknown Callers feature on WhatsApp and silence unknown callers, follow these steps as reported from GadgetsnowSaturday (22/7/2023).

1. Open WhatsApp on your smartphone

2. Now open the Settings menu (Settings)

5. Now tap on the ‘calls’ option and then select ‘Silence Unknown Callers’.

This function effectively mutes incoming calls from unknown numbers. Therefore, it is advisable to block and report callers if you receive calls from unknown or spam numbers.
