Username support is coming for WhatsApp iPhone users

In the future iPhone users will get the facility to chat with other people through username. PIN will be added to this feature to increase security. It is thought that WhatsApp iOS users will be able to choose whether to chat via username or phone number.

And after the username with pin feature, only those who have your pin will be able to talk to you. This will act more like a gatekeeper, as those who don't have a PIN can't send messages. And here users can change username or PIN.
