After India’s tough stance, WhatsApp says it will cut down on international spam calls

With WhatsApp users in India facing growing menace of International scam calls in recent days, the US based company has said it has rolled out back-end fixes to address the issue.

“International scam calls are a new way that bad actors have adopted. We have ramped up its artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems to bring down such incidents significantly. Our new enforcement will reduce the current calling rate by at least 50 per cent,” the Meta owned company said.

The US based company reacted a day after Union Minister of State For Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar’s statement saying that the government took note of the WhatsApp spam calls and will send notice to the company on the issue.
