Recent news in the field of technology is full of innovations that change our daily lives. Developments in this area also show their impact in related fields, reshaping people's lifestyles.
Redaksiya reports that WhatsApp is testing a new feature to limit the number of messages sent to its users. This innovation aims to prevent spam messages on the platform and improve users' experience.
The new feature will limit the number of messages users send to unknown individuals. All sent messages will be included in a monthly limit, but the exact message count has not yet been specified. When a user or business exceeds the limit, WhatsApp will open a warning window showing the remaining number of messages that can be sent. This way, users will not exceed the message limit and will be protected from being completely blocked. According to WhatsApp, thanks to the controls designed to reduce spam messages, an average user will not reach the limit. A message that is sent and receives a reply will not be included in the message limit.
Spam on WhatsApp is a major problem due to the app's global popularity. WhatsApp has been working to reduce spam for the past few years. Features such as easily blocking someone from the lock screen, unsubscribing from promotional messages, and leaving unwanted groups have been added. Additionally, restrictions have been placed on bulk messaging from new users. These steps aim to ensure user safety and a better experience on the platform.
