WhatsApp has been working on the username feature for a long time and it is currently not available to users even in the beta version.
But the Meta-owned messaging app has added an interesting feature to this feature. A report by wabetainfo informed about this.
According to the report, a feature called Username PIN has been seen in the new beta version of WhatsApp for Android devices.
The report said that with a username PIN, you will be able to prevent strangers from contacting you with whom you have never chatted in the past.
Even if those strangers know your username, it will be easier to block them with a username pin.
That is, it will be a very useful feature that will be effective in preventing spam messages.
Username will be at least 4 digits long and it will not be possible to contact a stranger without knowing it.
On the other hand, the people you have been in touch with in the past will not be affected by this change.
Earlier various reports said that with username you will be able to use WhatsApp without sharing phone number.
When a user creates his username, his phone number will be hidden from the eyes of others, which will strengthen the security of the users.
When username is introduced with PIN support, this feature will completely change WhatsApp.
As mentioned above this feature is only introduced in beta version so it is hard to say how long it will be available to all users.
