WhatsApp is making some new changes to keep your privacy safe and make your phone work better.
According to WABetaInfo, a website that talks about WhatsApp updates, you will soon be able to block messages from people you don’t know. This option will be in Settings under Privacy, then Advanced. You can stop messages from strangers if they send too many, but some might still get through.
This new feature is to help keep your account safe and make sure WhatsApp works well. But, it’s not ready for everyone yet because they’re still working on it.
Also, WhatsApp is adding a “like” button for status updates. Now, when someone posts a photo, video, or story, you can show you like it by sending a heart emoji, just like you do on Facebook or Instagram.
These cool updates are in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android, version 2.24.17.21. They should be coming to both iPhone and Android users soon!
