Here’s how the Message Limits feature tackles WhatsApp spam:

- Answer unlocks freedom: Once the recipient replies, the chat becomes ‘active’ and the restrictions disappear – there are no restrictions on ongoing conversations.
- Smart alerts: When you approach the limit, a pop-up warning will flash showing exactly how many messages are left before reaching a full block for the month.
- Aimed at bulk shippers: only counts messages to strangers without replies; answered or saved contacts remain unlimited.
