A new ‘Block’ shortcut feature is reportedly being developed by Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp for San Francisco users. According to WABetaInfo, this shortcut would give users the ability to block unknown and untrusted contacts right away from within the notifications. However, the shortcut will only be displayed when a message is received from an unfamiliar source.

To avoid mistakenly activating the block action when responding to notifications from trusted contacts, this new shortcut will be available in the next software update of the app.
On Thursday, it was reported that the messaging platform was working on a new shortcut to quickly block a contact from the chat list without needing to open the conversation. This feature is expected to save time and make it easier and more efficient to block unwelcome contacts.
