How to Turn Off WhatsApp Calls from Unknown Numbers, Easy!

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia –WhatsApp users often receive incoming calls from unknown numbers. This is because WhatsApp accounts are linked to their mobile phone numbers.

This can be very disruptive to daily activities. These unknown numbers could be individuals offering certain products and services.

However, unknown numbers often carry a dangerous risk. For example, they could belong to a fraudster in disguise.

To avoid unwanted incidents, WhatsApp users can use a feature called Silence Unknown Callers. This feature will mute or silence incoming calls from unknown numbers.

However, just because a call is muted doesn’t mean you won’t receive any notifications at all. WhatsApp still displays notifications if there are calls from unknown numbers, and the same information is also available in the Calls tab.

Here’s how to use Silence Unknown Callers:

Open WhatsApp

Go to the Settings menu

Select Privacy

Click Calls

Activate the feature by sliding the toggle next to Silence Unknown Callers.

How to separate annoying WhatsApp chats

WhatsApp itself has a multitude of features within its app. One of them is the Chat Filter, which allows you to group chats into specific categories.

“We believe filters will make it easier for people to stay organized and find the most important conversations, while also helping them navigate messages more efficiently. We’ll continue to develop more options to help you focus on what matters most. These features are rolling out to users today and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks,” WhatsApp said in a statement received by CNBC Indonesia.

Now, a filter has been added to the Favorites tab. You can add specific contacts to this group.

Users can also add custom groups by pressing the (+) button, typing the desired name for the new tab, and entering the contacts in the Included field.
