WhatsApp is going to surprise everyone by bringing another new feature. Who will get what benefits?
Constantly bringing new updates for users has become an addiction of WhatsApp. To give millions of people a better experience, the popular instant messaging platform has been rolling out its latest features for the past few days or better consistently – it's already rumored that exciting features like 'People Nearby' will be added in the coming days. In this case, the name of a much-awaited feature was seen in the list of new features of WhatsApp. According to a new report by WhatsApp's feature tracker WA-Beta-Info, the company is soon going to bring an option called 'Choose Username'.
Earlier it was heard many times that like other social media platforms, WhatsApp will also have a feature to set username, but later the matter was kept under wraps. Now wa-beta-info has shared a screenshot talking about this in his X post. And it looks like the new feature will eliminate the need to share phone numbers on WhatsApp in the near future. Let's now know more about the 'Choose Username' feature of WhatsApp.
Not everyone will get the new username feature of WhatsApp?
It is said that the new feature of WhatsApp will come for the web client i.e. for people using WhatsApp on PC or laptop. The specialty of this feature is that once it comes users no longer need to share phone numbers for chatting. In this case, they will get the option to create their own username through which friends, family or other users will be able to find someone by searching.
Incidentally, when WhatsApp users try to create a username of their choice with the help of the new feature, the platform will first check its availability. Once a username is available, it can be set in the profile. In this case these names will be very unique and the organization will try to avoid any possibility of confusion or similarity in them. Naturally, the new feature is expected to be quite useful for users' privacy as well. Because once the username is set, there is no need to share the phone number to join WhatsApp. However, those who already have the number can search with the respective user's profile number.
Currently, WhatsApp's username feature is under development. But from the recent practice, it is expected that its beta testing will start very soon.
