A new privacy feature for WhatsApp is being developed with the goal of improving user security.

If the volume of messages from unknown accounts exceeds a particular threshold, the next update will automatically block them.

The most recent WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.17.24, which is accessible through the Google Play Store, disclosed this information.

Safety from unwanted or potentially harmful communications

It is anticipated that the new privacy function will shield users from unsolicited or potentially dangerous communications. The function also attempts to enhance device performance by lessening the amount of spam and unsolicited communications that can overload the application.

Release date yet to be announced

Currently being developed is the ability to block messages from accounts that are unknown to you.

Although a precise release date has not yet been disclosed, it will be accessible via a later app update.

It is anticipated that this new capability will give messaging platform users an extra degree of security.
