Amidst the rise of scam calls in India, WhatsApp has finally added the highly anticipated feature – Silence Unknown Callers. Once turned on, the feature will silence incoming calls from unknown numbers, ensuring that users are not disturbed by multiple scam calls.
 

Vaishnaw urged citizens to never answer calls from unfamiliar numbers and only respond to calls from recognized telephone or mobile numbers. His remarks were made in response to a question about the prevalence of spam calls and cyber fraud.
