Adding further, WhatsApp is testing a new anti-spam tool designed to curb unwanted messages from businesses and unknown contacts. The Meta-owned messaging platform, with over 2 billion global users, is reportedly experimenting with monthly limits on outbound messages to non-contacts who don’t respond. The move is intended to significantly reduce promotional spam and enhance the overall user experience.
