WhatsApp has made it simple and easy for users to reject unwanted calls. Meta-owned WhatsApp allows users to silence spam calls from unknown contacts. These calls can also be from numbers not saved in your contact list.
The feature is available on the stable versions of WhatsApp for mobile apps, for both Android and iOS. The users will still be able to view when they miss a call from unknown numbers.
