San Francisco: To provide a block shortcut right within the notifications, WhatsApp is supposedly working on a new ‘Block’ shortcut feature, IANS reported.
WABetaInfo, reported that the Meta-owned platform is planning to introduce this new block shortcut within notifications but not always -- the block shortcut will be visible only when users receive a message from unknown and untrusted contacts
This limitation is needed as users might tap on the block action by accident when replying to notifications to their trusted contacts.
The new shortcut will be released in the upcoming update of the application
In another news update on Thursday, it was learned that WhatsApp was working on a new shortcut right within the chat option in the chat list to quickly block a contact.
The new feature is supposed to save time without opening the conversation. This will enable blocking unwanted contacts to be easier and quicker.
