WhatsApp is the messaging app with the most users, with two billion accounts in the world.
Meta’s platform already delivers one hundred billion messages a day.
There are only 25 countries in the world where WhatsApp is not the most used messaging app.
As part of its strategies to improve the user experience, WhatsApp is working on a new update that will allow you to block calls from unknown numbers.
There are instant messaging platforms that have gained fame around the world, thanks to their functions and practicality in connecting people. Instant messages are the most popular form of communication for individuals and even for businesses.
In this vast world, many people use instant messaging platforms, so there is a large ecosystem of platforms that provide these communication features, such as WhatsApp, Line, Telegram, Messenger, among others.
In this sense, the figures for the three most popular messaging apps are WhatsApp, WeChat and Facebook Messenger, which have more than four billion users added.
What’s new on WhatsApp
With a new update of the beta version of WhatsApp for Android devices, its users will be allowed to automatically block calls from numbers not registered as contacts on cell phones.
The platform announced that this function, dedicated to protecting people’s privacy, would only be available to those who are part of the platform’s testing program.
They also reported that although this feature limits incoming calls to only those numbers that are known to the phone, users will then be able to see the blocked numbers in the WhatsApp call log.
This new tool would arrive, so that the users of the Meta application will be more protected from unknown people, such as avoiding possible spam calls.
To date, the option is being tested, so it is not yet known what the access path will be to activate this feature or if it will be activated by default when it is officially launched in the global version of the messaging application.
With this, WhatsApp continues to show how much it cares about its users, each month releasing a new update with tools to improve their experience on the instant messaging platform.
Given this, this social network is not the only one that lives improving its options for its users, since Meta also changed the way Reels are seen on Facebook.
As an example of this tool on Meta’s flagship platform, users will notice that Reels views on Facebook and Instagram have more than doubled in the last year, and Reels forwards have more than doubled on Facebook and Instagram in the last six months.
So we’re constantly adding new features, like the ones we’re announcing today, to provide more ways for creators to express themselves and get discovered on Facebook, where we recently hit 2 billion daily active users.
And this is how social networks continue to think of their millions of users in order to provide a good service to the thousands of platforms that emerge daily.
