Every morning, I wake up to find my phone flooded with missed calls on Whatsapp, all from international numbers I don't recognize. How can I prevent unknown international calls?

• Don't Respond: It's critical not to answer these calls. Engaging with them may validate your phone number as active, resulting in more unwanted calls or potential scams.

• Report and Block: WhatsApp has features for reporting and blocking numbers. If you receive a call from an unknown international number, immediately report it as spam and block the caller. This not only prevents further calls from that number, but it also allows Whatsapp to identify and potentially take action against fraudulent accounts.

• Adjust Privacy Settings: Check Whatsapp's privacy settings to ensure that your profile is not easily accessible to strangers. You can specify who can view your profile information and call you. Restricting visibility to only contacts or setting your account to private can help reduce the likelihood of receiving unsolicited calls.

If you've got more insights to add, don't hesitate to let us know.
