Which leads, on the other hand, to wanting to provide the user with an always updated and new experience. By reflex, there may be some functions that are poorly understood.

The WhatsApp landscape is very broad. A few days ago we unveiled well 2 functions of WhatsApp nothing short of incredible. Functions that if known could lead to not being able to do without them. Just like in this case since we are talking about defending against spam and invitations to groups that are not really adequate. In short, these functions allow you to impose a serious defense against actions that are considered annoying. Let’s go and see, therefore, 2 functions that could change your experience of use.

WhatsApp, the functions you don’t know: they save you from spam and annoying group invitations

There can be some very annoying moments happening on Whatsapp. Not all communications, however, put our data at risk. In some situations there may be messages that are considered useless and annoying. Recognizing them is very simple. We are talking about spam, in this case it can be recognized if the message says “forwarded several times”. Once we realize this we decide to go further.

In this case, putting an end to our entry into spam groups or groups we don’t want to be in is simple. The first trick leads us to the three horizontal dots of the application. Here we select Account and then Privacy. Let’s go to the Groups section and change the settings. In this case, we can set the authorization request in case someone puts us in a group. Furthermore, we can also decide to block spam contacts who cannot do so. Besides adding who can put us in a group.

Another little trick to lower the number of spam is reporting. As soon as the message arrives, therefore, we must immediately report. Then click on the communication and then on the contact. From the drop-down menu there will be the option Report. The motivation will be that of spam. If it continues we can block the contact directly and we can do it by selecting the item block for spam. Certainly the problem will not be completely eradicated. These measures, however, can allow us to continue more calmly and to lower the risk of hacker attacks or untrustworthy links.
