The messaging app could soon end this misery for users by giving them more power about who messages them and there will be a limit on these spammers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The platform is testing a new way to curb the spam menace and the details are limited for now but it seems the businesses using WhatsApp to send you the messages will be warned about how many texts they have sent the user. This feels a lot like the WhatsApp forward issue which also was given a limit in markets like India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>WhatsApp Stop Spam Mission: What It Plans To Offer<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">WhatsApp is owned by Meta and that makes it a ripe medium for businesses to send messages, whether users like it or not. There are quite a few who get these texts and are understandably blocked from doing it again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">There is going to be a limit for these businesses and if you don\u2019t reply back to their messages, they will be blocked from using the platform to spam\/message them. The company is <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/10\/17\/whatsapp-will-curb-the-number-of-messages-people-and-businesses-can-send-without-a-response\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">starting the tests in select regions for now<\/a>, and this is purely focused on limiting spams on WhatsApp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It is intriguing that WhatsApp is keen on bringing businesses on their terms, especially when your parent company (Meta) has business intentions through its products. It does feel like WhatsApp will have a limit but give businesses the chance to curtail their spamming to avoid further action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The other main change with WhatsApp could be the increased use of Status update where you now see ads. The platform is testing another Instagram-like feature where you can ask questions within these updates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Meta AI is a big part of these changes, even though the end-to-end encryption standard remains the same. And now we are seeing even more Instagram-like tools coming to WhatsApp, at least in the beta avatar for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-596110103 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-596110103 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>October 20, 2025, 11:18 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-596110103 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Tired Of WhatsApp Messages From Unknown People?
