WhatsApp now enables username sharing for anonymous communication without revealing phone numbers
WhatsApp has officially launched the username feature selectively for some Android and iPhone users, aiming to enable starting new chats without sharing your phone number. This feature allows users to share their username instead of their phone number, while the number remains necessary for creating and activating the account. Users can manage, edit, or delete their usernames through the settings, and notifications will appear when changing the name to enhance security and reduce the risk of identity impersonation. The feature follows the prior availability of username pre-booking, and it remains limited and gradually expanding, while continuing to depend on phone numbers within the system. It also enhances privacy, enabling users to contact stores and new people without revealing their phone number.
