WhatsApp Adds Easy Spam Blocking from Lock Screen
-
WhatsApp now allows users to block spam messages right from the lock screen or notification shade without opening the app.
-
Spam and phishing attempts are very common on WhatsApp since accounts are linked to phone numbers.
-
The new feature lets you expand the quick actions on the lock screen and tap "Block" to block the sender.
-
You can also report the contact to WhatsApp by checking the "Report contact" box before blocking.
-
This saves the effort of opening WhatsApp and going into chats just to block unwanted messages.
