Once again WhatsApp has surprised Android users with a renewal of its interface that reorganizes the main tabs at the bottom of the app.

Identification of unknown senders
The latest update is a very interesting feature and is intended to Learn more about unknown senders. When an unregistered contact sends you a message, WhatsApp will display details such as common groups, phone number with country code, and name, allowing you to decide how or if you want to respond.
In addition to this, WhatsApp has reinforced its efforts to reduce spam and unwanted messages. The application provides guidelines for identifying suspicious messages, such as spelling errors, requests for personal information or questionable links. Users can report, block and delete these messages with ease.
Interoperability for your European users
In the last weeks, WhatsApp has announced the implementation of interoperability in Europe. The messaging platform will allow users to send and receive messages from other similar applications, such as Telegram, Signal and iMessage. This feature responds to changes in European Union legislation and the Digital Markets Law, giving users the freedom to choose whether they want to use it or not.
WhatsApp remains committed to the privacy of users who decide to use interoperability. All shared messages, calls, media files, and documents will remain protected by end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only recipients can access the content.
