News India Live, Digital Desk: Spam Messages: Are you also fed up with “won the lottery,” “download this app,” or “cheap loan” messages coming on your WhatsApp from unknown numbers? If yes, then there is a very good news for you. WhatsApp is working on a powerful ‘anti-scam’ feature, which will rid you of these useless and fraudulent messages forever. This new feature is going to completely change your messaging experience, making your inbox cleaner and safer than ever before. What is this new ‘spam filter’ feature? Keep an eye on every movement of WhatsApp. According to the website WABetaInfo, the company is working on a new ‘Filtered Messages’ system. It will work much like Gmail’s spam folder. How will this feature work? Automatic identification: WhatsApp’s system will automatically identify spam, promotional (offers from companies) and suspicious messages. It will identify messages that come from unknown numbers, contain strange links, or are sent to many people at once. A separate folder will be created: Instead of showing these unnecessary messages in your main inbox, the system will put them in a separate folder. Control in your hands: The best part is that you will remain in control. If you feel that an important message has accidentally gone to this folder, you can bring it back to your main inbox. Similarly, you will also be able to mark any message as spam. What will be the benefit of this feature? Clean inbox: Only messages from people you know and work will be visible in your main chat list. Protection from fraud: You will be protected to a great extent from scams in the name of lottery and job, because such messages will not be able to reach you directly. Distraction will be reduced: Notifications of recurring promotional messages. You will get rid of this. No hassle of blocking again and again: You will not need to block every spam number one by one. This feature is currently in the testing phase and can be released for beta testers soon. After successful testing it will be made available to all users. This will definitely prove to be one of the most useful features of WhatsApp.
