Tired of WhatsApp Spam? Now You Can Block Users Directly from the Lock Screen
We have seen how big a threat online scams can be. Not only are they proliferating, scammers are also finding new and sophisticated ways to trick unsuspecting victims. Now if you think about it, a huge number of such scams come to you through apps like WhatsApp. However, Meta has worked on the platform over time and improved it.
And now, in the latest update, WhatsApp has doubled down on its spam protection by allowing users to block users directly from the lock screen. The instant messaging application owned by Meta announced the same in a message sent from its official account.
This, in turn, saves the time needed to block someone by helping you avoid various sub-menus and the hassle of searching for and opening unnecessary chats. This can also be especially handy for those people who often receive a lot of messages, as they can block the account directly without leaving. To enable this, users need to update their WhatsApp to the latest version available and allow pop-up notifications. This would improve spam protection, save valuable time and much more.
Blocking someone from lock screen: You need to update to the latest version and allow all notifications and when a WhatsApp message appears, you can tap on the block option next to the reply button.
