I believe the same settings are also in WhatsApp.
No in whatsapp you can't limit requests to only your contacts. It's only with groups. I've checked and googled.
Isn'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.
In telegram you can restrict people from calling you completely. WA doesn't have that function.
And yes it sucks that VMs on telegram is behind a paywall but at least the restriction exists unlike WA.
Interestingly they don't appear to advertise it at all as a perk on the premium purchasing page.
