A feature of WhatsApp has been in the news for a long time. The company has been working on such an option for a long time, with the arrival of which you will not need to share your mobile number. WhatsApp can be used only with a username. Now it seems that the messaging platform has prepared to introduce this feature. However, this will be started on a 'small scale'. Very soon WhatsApp users will be able to create profiles with their favorite usernames.
According to a report by WABetaInfo, after the new feature of WhatsApp comes, users will be able to create a unique username for their profile. These usernames will be used when you do not want to share your contact number with someone and want to connect with them only with a username. But there is a condition here! Currently, this feature will be brought only for WhatsApp web users.
We also saw a screenshot, which confirms this feature. The feature will be most beneficial for those who do not want to share their mobile number while chatting with different people. According to reports, this feature is still being developed. It can be introduced with slight changes in the design.
According to reports, since the username will be unique, the availability of the username will also have to be checked while choosing it. That is, if you want a username and someone has already chosen the same name, then you will have to try another username.
Earlier it was said that the company is also working on another new feature that will allow searching other users on the app by their username. This feature is reportedly being prepared for the upcoming update on the app for Android users.
