minus-squarelemmyingly@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoI believe the same settings are also in WhatsApp.
minus-squareTuss@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoNo in whatsapp you can’t limit requests to only your contacts. It’s only with groups. I’ve checked and googled.
minus-squarelemmyingly@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoIsn’t it the same in Telegram? Interestingly, in Telegram it looks like everyone can send you a voice message unless you pay Telegram money to unlock the ability to restrict it.
