WhatsApp Rolls Out Easy Blocking from Notifications to Curb Spam
-
WhatsApp has a new feature to block unwanted messages right from the lock screen without opening them. Just long-press the notification.
-
You can now report and block a contact directly from the lock screen prompt.
-
This saves you time from having to open the app and dig through messages to block someone.
-
Previously, you had to open chats and find the "block" option in submenus, which was tedious.
-
This feature is part of WhatsApp's efforts against spam by giving users more control and a smoother messaging experience.
