WhatsApp is working on a new feature to enhance user security and privacy. With this update, users will have greater control over incoming video calls, especially from unknown contacts. If an unfamiliar number tries to video call, the call will be automatically put on hold instead of ringing directly. This allows users to decide whether they want to accept the call or ignore it.

Additionally, when a call from an unknown number is received, the phone’s camera will remain disabled by default until the user manually accepts the call. This prevents unexpected video exposure and enhances privacy. WhatsApp aims to provide a safer and more controlled communication experience with this new feature. It is expected to roll out across all platforms soon.
