WhatsApp is working on a new feature to allow users to prevent unknown numbers from sending messages. The instant messaging app is a great source of communication and contact but it can be very annoying when you are added to spam groups, or hit with content to advertise unsolicited services. There is also the risk of exposing your device to malware or other cyber threats, but a solution could be imminent. WhatsApp news site WABetaInfo has reported the company is now rolling out a new security update on Android devices giving the ability to block messages from unknown accounts. The feature is said to be hidden in the ‘Advanced’ section of settings, within the ‘Privacy’ menu.
