WhatsApp, which is working on a slew of new security features, is now reportedly introducing a new safety tool, using which the users will be able to see a dedicated screen of messages from unknown numbers. The new screen will also have the option to block unknown numbers or even report them to the moderation team.

Along with this, the dedicated screen will also offer information about how to stay safe in the chat which will highlight name, photo, and country code. Further, the platform will add privacy and more control to the users by not notifying the sender that their messages have been read until the receiver chooses to reply or add a contact to their phone list.
