WhatsApp introduces new feature to combat spam, abuse and automation on platform

WhatsApp is introducing a new feature that will restrict the sending of messages on accounts that violate their terms of use. This includes accounts that share spam or send mass or automated messaging. The company will use automatic systems to detect accounts engaging in abusive behavior on the platform.

Users of restricted accounts will receive a notification when they try to open a new chat, informing them that they will not be able to start new conversations due to their recent activity being flagged as spam, automation, or mass messaging. This restriction serves as a temporary penalty rather than a permanent ban, allowing users to still receive messages and participate in ongoing conversations.

This feature has been spotted in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android (v2.24.10.5) and is expected to roll out to the general application in a future update. It provides a proactive approach to address misuse of the platform and aims to maintain a user-friendly and safe environment for all users.
