Getting calls from unknown numbers on WhatsApp? Turn on this feature and the calls will be silenced

RJ Kesari News Desk: WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app. Many useful features have been provided in the app to improve the user experience and take care of the safety. 

Many times people get troubled by the fact that they get calls from unknown numbers on the app, but to save the users from this problem, an amazing feature is available in the app. 

Once you just turn on this feature, then this feature automatically silences every call coming from an unknown number, so that you do not get to know about the call coming from an unknown number.

In most cases, calls from unknown numbers can be scams, so this feature is very useful. After you miss a call, you'll see the number from which you received the call in your Calls tab.

Once enabled, it will remain active in the background to protect you from spam and scam calls. Often, it's after you answer the call that scammers begin their plot to steal your money. Missing the call can save you, so it's wise to keep this feature enabled.
