WhatsApp has a 'Mute' feature. You can use this feature so that you are no longer disturbed by spam messages from groups or privately.

This method can be used to delete the chat room on WhatsApp every time they send a new message. This method is considered more effective than muting chats from unknown numbers.
Because, even though you have clicked 'mute', the message still appears on WhatsApp, so you have to delete it.
The next way you can do is by using the 'Archive' feature on WhatsApp.
This feature will allow you to hide chats from people you don't want to see or reply to.
So, when a message comes in privately or in a group, usually the message will appear in the chat room.

While users iPhones, you can swipe left or long-hold on the contact and click on the 'Archive' option.
WhatsApp also has a useful feature to avoid telephone crime.
