This section will allow users to activate this option and, in this way, take care of them Location and IP addressMalicious actors try to intercept your communications by making random calls, which becomes a constant mode of attack.

When enabled, this feature makes it more difficult for third parties to track your location while you’re on a call. This is possible because calls are routed securely through WhatsApp servers.

However, implementing this tool may impact call quality due to encryption and routing processes.

While this feature is currently in beta testing, its arrival in the stable version of WhatsApp has not been officially announced. As this feature is still under development and in a limited testing phase, it may take some time for it to be available to all users.

Currently, cybercriminals are using the app’s voice and video calls to commit fraud, capture users’ faces or create harassing situations by showing intimate images in video calls.

1. Open WhatsApp.

2. Go to Settings.

3. Select Privacy option.

Also, if you call back or write a message in a stranger’s chat, you can no longer block their communication.

If the calls are completely blocked, then we need to block that user so that they cannot communicate in any way.
