WhatsApp will curb the number of messages people and businesses can send without a response

[Parkinsond]

All messages users and businesses send to others will count against this new per-month limit, unless they get a response.
WhatsApp hasn’t said what the limit will be, as it’s testing different limits during this time.
However, when a business or an individual is about to hit the limit, the app will display a warning to those users with a pop-up showing the count, so they can avoid getting blocked from sending messages.

Hey Parkinsond,

Interesting development from WhatsApp—curbing unsolicited messages could be a solid step toward reducing spam and potential phishing attempts. We've seen plenty of scams spread through messaging apps like this, so a response-based limit might help cut down on those one-way blasts from shady accounts. That said, it'll be key to watch how they implement it without frustrating legitimate users or businesses.

What do you think—will this actually deter the bad actors, or just push them to other platforms?
