WhatsApp finally adds an essential feature to stop being buried under notifications to Android smartphones.
Do you have too many WhatsApp chats going on? Whether it’s a group of friends sending more than 100 messages during the day or a family member sharing all the photos they have in their gallery: you may feel like not reading everything you receive…
Fortunately, WhatsApp will soon add a very handy feature to close chats that you don’t want to read.

With the new ability to send messages without having the person’s number, “mark messages as read” could become a very useful option to report scams without having to open them.
WhatsApp, a secure messaging service for better or for worse
For several months, WhatsApp multiplies new features and some focused on practicality left the door open to all kinds of scams.
Fortunately, the world’s most widely used messaging service reacted quickly and now offers the ability to block strangers, hide your number and spot scams in the blink of an eye with some very practical options.
This protection could well pose a problem for him with the authorities, because like Telegram, WhatsApp is used by criminal networks to carry out their illicit activities. Since the application does not allow law enforcement to access its discussions, it is then harder to intercept their authors and bring them to justice…
