Protecting the privacy of your messages remains the driving force behind what we\u2019re building at WhatsApp. While End-to-end encryption is the foundation to ensure your calls and messages are secure, we continue to add more layers of privacy on top including the recently launched Chat Lock to protect sensitive chats behind a password, Disappearing Messages that vanish, screenshot blocking for View Once, and the ability to keep your online presence private.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re excited to add two new updates to this growing list:\u00a0Silence Unknown Callers and Privacy Checkup<\/b>, which are available to users now.<\/p>\n

Silence Unknown Callers<\/b>\u00a0is designed to give you more privacy and control of your incoming calls. It helps to automatically screen out spam, scams, and calls from unknown people for increased protection. These calls will not ring on your phone, but will be visible in your Call list, in case it turns out to be someone important.<\/p>\n
