New Security Measures Against Spam Messages on WhatsApp

WhatsApp users are increasingly facing spam messages. These messages, sent by unknown individuals, pose a threat aimed at defrauding users. To protect users from such disturbing messages, WhatsApp has started developing a new security feature.

Meta is working on a system in the latest Android beta version of WhatsApp that automatically detects spam messages from people not in the user’s contacts. This update is currently available to beta users through Google Play. With this new feature, users will have the option to block messages from unknown individuals.

This development adds an important layer of privacy and control for WhatsApp users. If the feature is activated, WhatsApp will detect unknown accounts and block messages from these accounts, thereby protecting users’ inboxes.

Negative Effects of Spam Messages

The increase in spam messages is also negatively affecting WhatsApp’s performance. Messages from unknown individuals that reach a certain number will be automatically blocked, thus protecting users from potentially harmful accounts. According to WABetaInfo, this new feature will also help improve the overall performance of the app. The flow of spam messages can often cause errors and lead to the application slowing down.

Additionally, thanks to this update, the amount of data that WhatsApp has to process will decrease, allowing the application to work more efficiently. While it is not yet certain when the new feature will exit the beta phase and move to the final version, it is expected that it will not take long to be made available to users.
