Tue 07 March 2023:
A new feature called “silence unknown callers,” which will let users mute calls from unknown numbers while still displaying them in the calls list and notification center, is reportedly being developed by Meta-owned WhatsApp.
The new feature is currently being developed for WhatsApp beta for Android, according to WABetaInfo.
Other benefits of this feature include fewer interruptions and perhaps a reduction in spam calls.
Users will find the toggle located in the app settings, and once enabled, calls from unknown numbers will get silenced, but they will still be shown in the calls list and notification centre, said the report.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is rolling out a new “Split view” feature for tablets, which will allow users to see and use two different sections of the application side by side at the same time, on Android beta.
On the tablet version of the application, when users open a chat, the chat view typically fills the entire screen, and users must return to the chat list to start a new conversation.
The chat list will always be visible when opening a chat thanks to the new feature.
