A new feature that will improve user experience and security is currently in the pipeline. Yes, the popular Meta-based app, WhatsApp is working on a new account restriction feature that aims to provide a balanced alternative to absolute account bans.
This feature will restrict users from sending messages, which means the restricted account users will not be able to start new chats for a certain amount of time as a punishment for specific violations. But they will still be able to receive messages and reply to them from existing chats and groups.
By restricting accounts instead of banning them entirely, WhatsApp aims to offer users an opportunity to correct their behavior without causing them to lose access to their data entirely. It’s worth noting that, it will be a temporary ban to minimize significant disruption to the messaging experience.
