With The Implementation Of This Big Change In WhatsApp, You Will No Longer Have To Give Your Mobile Number To Strangers In These Messengers.

Currently, communicating with other users in the WhatsApp application requires having their phone number, But apparently, this possibility will be provided through a username soon. WABetaInfo reported this significant change; A website that monitors WhatsApp trial features.

Using a username instead of a phone number can effectively maintain users’ privacy; Because many people do not want to give their mobile numbers to anyone for various reasons. Having a dedicated username can solve this problem.

At the same time, end-to-end encryption will remain in place, and only two parties can access username-based chats.

Of course, this is not a new solution and has been tested in other apps such as Telegram and Discord; WhatsApp, as usual, is the latest to start and is currently testing.

Not many details of this new feature have come out yet, and it is unclear if, for example, it is possible to search for usernames or not. But anyway, we take this action of WhatsApp as a good omen.
