WhatsApp is testing a new anti-spam feature to limit bulk messaging and improve user experience amid rising competition from local apps like Arattai. The system sets monthly limits on how many messages users or businesses can send to unknown contacts who haven’t replied. Once a reply is received, restrictions lift. Those nearing their cap will get a pop-up warning before being blocked for the month. The feature targets mass, unsolicited senders rather than regular users. WhatsApp continues enhancing its platform with AI-powered customisation, new media-sharing options, and improved document scanning and group search features for Android and iOS users.
