The WhatsApp Messenger app is popular not only for messaging, but also for placing or taking calls. The internet-based calling feature comes in handy when your carrier charges you for minutes or you find yourself without cellular service.
Unfortunately, sometimes people don’t want to receive call requests from people, so strong call-blocking options are a must. The free WAIgnoreCalls jailbreak tweak by iOS developer nowesr1 promises comprehensive call-blocking options for WhatsApp Messenger app users.
According to the depiction page in the BigBoss repository, WAIgnoreCalls provides settings from right within the WhatsApp Messenger app itself, shown above, which include the following:
Choosing how to ignore calls
- Disable call ignoring
- Ignore all calls
- Ignore only contacts’ calls
- Ignore all calls except for contacts’ calls
- Allow or disallow audio calls
- Allow or disallow video calls
- Allow or disallow group calls
- Configure your contacts list
Since WAIgnoreCalls is largely contacts-based when it comes to choosing who you will ignore calls from, it is perhaps unsurprising that you can enter someone’s name and number to ignore their calls.
Ignoring calls can be especially useful if you suffer from a lot of spam calls, deal with annoying friends, or simply hate being on the phone. It’s surprising to me that the popular WhatsApp Messenger app doesn’t already have these features built in, but I’m grateful for nowesr1 who made a jailbreak tweak especially for this purpose.
If you’re a WhatsApp Messenger app user and you want to give the WAIgnoreCalls jailbreak tweak a try, then you can download it for free from the BigBoss repository. The tweak supports jailbroken iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16 devices and requires the WhatsApp Messenger app. This tweak does not impact the native Phone app on the Phone in any way.
