The Meta-owned messaging app update called "Silence Unknown Callers" lets users do just that. SILENCE THEM. Calls from unknown callers won't actually ring on your phone, but will instead be visible in your list of calls in case it's someone you actually want to hear from.

The feature is live for all users now, and here's how to use it.
Step 1: In WhatsApp, open "Settings"
Hit the Settings tab in the bottom right of the app.
Step 2: Hit the "Privacy" section
You'll find this about halfway down the screen under "Account".
Step 3: Open "Calls"
You'll find this under the "Live Location" section.
