first of all, what is a spam call?

But Don’t worry!

Unknown calls on WhatsApp will now be silenced by the server and logged in the call tab.

You can check the call log to see who called you on that specific day.

When we are busy, we often answer spam calls without checking the caller ID.

This is how you can increase your safety and avoid mistakes in your daily life.
