Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has recently announced the introduction of four exciting new features aimed at enhancing the overall user experience. These updates encompass the ability to silence calls from unknown numbers, group mentions in community announcement groups, community entry points, and message editing functionality.
With the new feature to silence unknown callers, WhatsApp users now have greater control over the calls they receive, enabling them to effectively manage spam calls and enhance their privacy and security. This feature empowers users to filter out unwanted calls from unfamiliar or unidentified numbers, providing a more streamlined and personalized communication experience.
To activate the feature that silences unknown callers, users can simply navigate to the privacy settings option within WhatsApp and enable it specifically for calls. This empowers users to have better control over their incoming calls, filtering out unwanted and unfamiliar numbers to enhance their privacy and security.
The introduction of group mentions allows community admins to effectively highlight specific groups within community announcement groups. This ensures that important messages reach the intended audience more efficiently, streamlining group communication and management within WhatsApp.
Furthermore, with community entry points, users now have the convenience of directly accessing community groups from within the community announcement group. This feature enhances navigation and simplifies the process of joining and participating in community discussions, making it easier for users to engage with their desired communities on WhatsApp.
Additionally, community creators now have the ability to effortlessly create new groups directly from the entry point menu. This streamlines the process and empowers community creators to quickly establish new groups within the community.
Furthermore, the message editing feature permits users to edit their sent text messages within a 15-minute window, allowing for swift corrections of typos and errors. This functionality ensures conversation integrity while providing flexibility for timely adjustments.
Currently, these features are available to beta testers, and in the coming weeks, they will be rolled out to a wider user base. To experience these updates, users can install the latest WhatsApp beta version on their iOS or Android devices.
Please note that the availability and release of these features may vary depending on the specific device and region.
