WhatsApp users snag free upgrade that solves a big problem – check your app now
WHATSAPP has had a new lick of paint.
The messenger app, used by some 2billion people worldwide, is rolling out a brand new interface.
The update highlights three new features, including the ability to silence unknown callers – one of the app’s most annoying problems.
Spam messages from random accounts aren’t the only problem WhatsApp-ers face.
WhatsApp users can be targeted by pesky scam callers due to the app’s hefty usership.
The silence unknown callers feature means you won’t get a notification when someone calls you from an unknown number.

Instead, you’ll receive a notification, with the number appearing in the Calls tab if you need to contact the caller.
The revamp has also made landscape mode and the option to chat transfer much more obvious.
Users will notice new icons for photos, camera and location, when pressing the plus button in-chat.
It’s not too different from before, but the overall navigation of the app has been improved.
The new interface is currently available for iOS users.
Simply update the app via the App Store.
Look out for the update titled 23.15.72 to get your hands on the new interface.
If you’re an iPhone user who doesn’t have this update just yet, note that some accounts may receive it over the coming weeks.
