It is said that WhatsApp is working on a new update. With its help, users will be able to prepare a unique username. They will not need to share their phone number for everyone. According to WABETAINFO, this feature is currently being developed, which may take a few months to arrive. The report states that the conversation through unique username will also be safe with end-to-end encryption i.e. no third information other than two users will be able to achieve.
In the present time, users have to share their mobile number to login to WhatsApp. However, many social media apps and messaging apps connect people even without mobile number. In recent times, there have been many incidents of spam calls on WhatsApp. A large number of people in India were also disturbed by spam calls and messages on WhatsApp. This matter also reached the government.
WABETAINFO has also shared a screenshot. This shows that users will get the option of username in their profile. After going to WhatsApp settings, the username can be selected after clicking on the profile there. After this, the remaining users in the app can be searched with their username. With this, the mobile number will be secured to a large extent from others. How long this feature will be rolled out is not yet known. No official information has been given from WhatsApp or Meta about the feature.
