WhatsApp’s new privacy features

Meta released two new privacy features for WhatsApp. One of the features consist in “Silence Unknown Callers” which gives the user the ability to silence unknown calls which helps "to automatically screen out spam, scams, and calls from unknown people”, and the phone won’t ring, it will only appear in the user’s call list. The other feature consists in “Privacy Checkup”, which guides users through WhatsApp’s privacy settings and recently added tools, such as Chat Lock and disappearing messages.
