According to the report of Wabetainfo, WhatsApp is planning to add a new feature Username to its platform. With the help of this upcoming feature, users will be able to create a unique name for themselves, so that they will not have to share their number everywhere. They can be searched by their username. This will provide an additional security layer. Its support will be given to the users with future updates.
Screenshot surfaced
It can be seen in this screenshot that there is a section of Pick Your Username, in which users can create a name for themselves, which has not been used by anyone yet. This will give every user a different name. Through this tool, confusion and duplication on the platform can be prevented.
The report further stated that users will have to check the availability of their desired username during the setup process. This enhances privacy. The best part is that users with a username will not even need to reveal their phone number.
After the username is activated, only those people will be able to contact those users on WhatsApp who know the username or phone number of the user. Experts believe that with this feature, the personal data of the users will be safe and privacy will be maintained.
Testing will start soon.
WhatsApp's username feature is currently in the development zone. It will soon be rolled out to beta users. After the testing is complete, support for this tool will be provided to web users first.
