According to a report by wabetainfo.comthis new feature works similar to the Truecaller functionality of reporting calls by unknown numbers as spam.

This feature was recently rolled out for the iOS version of WhatsApp. Thanks to albums, you will be able to share multiple photos and videos at once and they will be grouped together, saving space in the chat screen. Forwarding of photos will now be easier. In Android, you can also select the album and that isn’t possible on iOS.[caption id="attachment_381766" align="aligncenter" width="640"]Image Credit: WhatsApp Image Credit: WhatsApp[/caption]This comes days after WhatsApp has just received a new update for iOS that brings in photo filters, automatic albums in chats, and the ability to send quick replies.
