Below, see which new features promise to further increase user privacy and integration with other people:

1. Silence calls from unknown numbers

When a person activates the “Airplane Mode” function, they stop receiving calls and messages from everyone.

Until now, WhatsApp has not been able to silence calls, including from unknown numbers. However, the new update to the app promises to bring more privacy to people and control who can call you.

Available since June, you can activate this function by clicking on “Settings” > “Privacy” > “Calls”, and activate the option “Silence calls from unknown numbers”.

2. Channels

In Telegram, there is the option to create channels communication to send different messages, with the possibility of interaction between people. Now, WhatsApp will bring this same function to its application.

However, it is worth noting that communication channels should not be confused with the Communities function, which can place several groups within the same community, but there is a limited number of people.
