WhatsApp It is an application used by more than 2 billion people to communicate. This massiveness, as often happens, is attractive for virtual scams and accounts dedicated to spamming. After enabling the possibility of block suspicious messagesthe messenger is now working on a system to automatically suspend accounts that spam, without the need for users to report it.
This feature, as usually happens before each announcement, was discovered by the specialized site WABetainfo in the latest beta of the app 2.24.10.5 for Android.
The new system, which appears to be anti-spam protectionpromises to prevent fraudulent accounts from distributing messages to users with fictitious business offers, fraudulent job offers, or suspicious messages.
The messages that arrive from WhatsApp scammers in the Pig Butchery modality.
Once the account is suspended, you will receive the following message, according to the screenshot shared by WABetainfo: “Your account is restricted. Recent activity on your account could be a signal of spam or automated and mass messages“.
Those profiles temporarily suspended They will not be able to start new conversations or chats over a period of time. However, owners will not be completely cut off: they will be able to continue receiving messages and sending messages in chats and groups in which they have already participated.
Although it still does not have a confirmed release date and everything that is known is the result of a leak, the future update will give WhatsApp the power to analyze – according to certain usage patterns – when an account sends mass shipments of messages, something that the platform could determine as spam and, therefore, automatically suspend.
The next WhatsApp update would have an “anti-spam” function.
If it is not a fraudulent account and it is a permanent block, users may correct your actions and avoid making the same mistake that caused the suspension.
Events and responses in ad groups
Since the launch of Communities, the function to keep groups that belong to the same topic connected and organized, WhatsApp worked to extend its capacity until this recent announcement: a new way of organize events and organized responses to Ad Groups so members can respond to important updates from administrators.
Thanks to events, as recognized by the messenger, it is now easier to plan meetings directly on WhatsApp, whether it is a virtual meeting or a birthday dinner.
New functions in Communities, the evolution of WhatsApp groups.
Anyone can create an event and others can respond so the entire group knows who is coming.
Even potential guests can also find the event on the group’s information page, and those who attend will receive an automatic notification when it’s approaching.
The events will first reach groups that belong to a Community, and will be extended to all groups in the coming months.
These improvements will also include responses in ad groups, so that administrators can know the opinions of their members and, at the same time, these groups remain an easy place to catch up on what is happening in your community. The answers are grouped and minimized so that each user sees what others said in context, and notifications are muted for everyone.
