that the WhatsApp instant messaging application is testing a new feature that aims to help users enhance their privacy and distinguish their identity without having to use phone numbers.
The website, which specializes in monitoring experimental features in the WhatsApp application, which belongs to the Meta company .
also mentioned that after installing the latest beta version of the service application on the Android system, an important feature was discovered during the exploration of the new version as usual.
WABetaIwnfo said that it has j'y that WhatsApp is working on a feature called "Username", which allows users to choose unique usernames for their accounts.
A screenshot of the new feature has been published on the site, and it shows that the profile page has added a new option between the “Name” and “News” options, which is “User Name”. The profile can be accessed via Settings.
In addition, it is believed that WhatsApp users will have the opportunity to add more privacy to their accounts by being able to choose a username.
This means that users will be able to choose a username that is unique and easy to remember, rather than relying on phone numbers to locate contacts.
By giving the option to choose usernames, WhatsApp can give users access to other people within the app, without having to know their phone numbers.
And since this feature is still being developed, it's too early to understand how the (username) feature will work in WhatsApp.
This feature also allows users to communicate with companies in complete confidentiality without having to reveal their phone numbers.
They may also be used in more broad ways to privately communicate with any user.
It is believed that the (username) feature, which was discovered in beta version 2.23.11.15 of the WhatsApp application, may revolutionize the way we communicate through the service in the future.
According to WABetaInfo, conversations that start with usernames will remain protected with end-to-end encryption technology.
Development efforts are also continuing for the ability to create a username in the WhatsApp application, and it is expected that it will be launched soon for more WhatsApp beta subscribers.
It can be noted that the "username" is a feature available on social media platforms since its inception.
Moreover, Telegram, the main competitor of WhatsApp, has been supporting this feature for a long time.
