WhatsApp has introduced several important features in recent weeks.
Several features including multi-device support, chat lock, and message edit are part of the Meta-owned messaging app.
Now another big change is going to WhatsApp.
According to a report by WABetaInfo, a new category is being added to WhatsApp's profile section where users will be asked to choose a unique username. Instagram will help ensure user interactions.
However, it is not yet clear how usernames will work in the messaging app, but apparently, it will be possible to search by a user's username instead of a phone number or QR code.
That is, it will increase the privacy of the users and the phone numbers will not reach the hands of strangers.
Chats initiated by searching by username will also be protected by end-to-end encryption.
WhatsApp has not yet confirmed the feature or the date it will be introduced.
Currently, this feature is available in the new beta version of WhatsApp's Android app.
So now it is difficult to say how long the username feature will be available to users, but considering the addition of important features in recent weeks, it is likely to be rolled out to users very soon.
