WhatsApp is working on an option to block contacts from the chat list and notifications: Report
WhatsApp offers an alternative way to block contacts. Some WhatsApp beta testers get the ability to block contacts directly from the chat list and notifications. The first option to block a contact on WhatsApp will be accessible in the chat option, while the notification option will only be available when receiving messages from contacts you don’t know.
According to a report by WaBetaInfo, for certain beta testers, WhatsApp is now introducing the ability to block users directly from the chat list and notifications. This feature is currently rolling out via WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.2.10 update for some beta testers.

The screenshot shared suggests that WhatsApp is introducing two new hotspots to block users. You can easily block a contact without opening the chat by opening the first entry point in the chat list by opening the chat options (it may also be present in the application header under certain circumstances). The second shortcut is found in notifications and appears under certain specific circumstances when you receive messages from contacts you don’t know.

These WhatsApp contact blocking options make it easy to block contacts without having to look at their chat history, especially if you often receive messages from strangers or people you don’t want to communicate with. It should be noted that a feature that allows users to instantly block multiple contacts at once from the chat list is not currently planned.
According to the report, some beta testers who installed the latest version from the Google Play Store have access to the ability to remove contacts from the chat list and notifications, and in the next few days this option will be made available to even more users.

Another new feature that WhatsApp is developing would allow users to share photos in their original quality. The new development is included in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android upgrade 2.23.2.11.
WhatsApp plans to include a new icon in the header of the drawing tool that would allow users to adjust the image quality of any photo. The feature will eventually allow users to choose to send photos in their original quality. We believe this feature will give consumers more control over the quality of the image they send in situations where it is necessary to deliver a photo in its original quality.
