WhatsApp has rolled out the new beta update for Android, version 2.23.10.7, which showcases a new "Mute unknown calls" option for some users. Enabling this feature helps users ignore calls from strangers, which more often than not can be spam.
Additionally, this can help users avoid calls when they are in important meetings or in the middle of work. The option will be under the privacy settings and users will just have to turn on the toggle for this to work.
