We have seen how big the threat of online scams is. Scammers are not only increasing in frequency, but they are also finding new, elaborate ways to deceive unsuspecting victims. Now, if you think about it, you will see that a lot of these scams happen through apps like WhatsApp. However, Meta has been working on the platform and improving it over time.
Now, in its latest update, WhatsApp has beefed up spam protection by allowing users to block users right from the lock screen. The Meta-owned messaging app announced the same via a message sent from its official account.
This, in turn, helps you avoid various submenus and the unnecessary hassle of finding and opening a chat, saving the time it would take to block someone. This is also particularly convenient for those who regularly receive a large number of messages, as they can block the account directly without leaving. To enable this feature, users need to update their WhatsApp app to the latest available version and allow pop-up notifications. This will enhance spam protection, save valuable time, and more.
To block someone from the lock screen: You need to update to the latest version and allow all notifications. When a WhatsApp message pops up, you can tap on the block option next to the reply button.
