About international spam calls
Last month, the instant messaging platform responded to the problem of international scam calls in India after the government acknowledged the issue that was impacting numerous WhatsApp users. These scam calls, originating from international numbers, particularly from African and Southeast Asian countries, along with fake messages from unknown users, inundated WhatsApp users across the country. To address this issue, the platform has strengthened its machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems, resulting in a significant reduction in such incidents.
