Do You Know You Can Report & Block Spammers onWhatsApp

Do you know you can now report SPAMMERs on WhatsApp and get
them blocked. I’m pretty sure some of you didn’t know that this feature
exist, even though you might have been seeing it on your updated
WhatsApp.

WhatsApp has had spam-solving measures for a while now: you could
block people from messaging you when you noticed something fishy
about them (usually when receiving a photo, contact, link, or ad from
someone you didn't know). Phone numbers that were blocked by
several users eventually ended up being temporarily or permanently
banned from using the service.
Maybe you always receive messages like “send this messages to 10
people…” or all manner of funny broadcast, It can be considered as
spam. Don’t just stare at the messages, make use of the Spam button.
When you get a message from a phone number that isn't in
your contacts list, you will now see two big boxes to report it as spam
and block it or to add it to your phonebook.
Where Can I Find this Option?
==>The option to only block can still be found under More in the
overflow menu on the top right, and it still shows up above the
conversation when you've replied to the unknown sender but
still haven't saved their number.
If your WhatsApp isn’t updated, you might not see this features. But
you can find more recent updated versions on the service's site or on
APK Mirror .
Here’s the plan, when next you get a message that requires that you
forward it to 10 people or face terrible consequences or when you
receive unsolicited messages, just report it as spam or get it blocked.
