Spam messages on WhatsApp will soon be a thing of the past

Unlike some messaging platforms, which require permission to text an unknown user, WhatsApp allows users to text anyone, and all they need is the phone number, making it much easier to connect with fellow WhatsApp users. Many have started misusing this feature, leading to a massive increase in spam messages, phishing attempts, and more. Meta will soon put an end to this, where WhatsApp is testing a new feature that allows users to automatically block messages from unknown numbers.
