Unlike other well-known communication apps, WhatsApp does not allow you to customize your username, but requires you to register with your mobile phone number, but this measure may change in the future, because WhatsApp is developing support for Username. Meta is developing many new features for their instant messaging platform, and I believe adding Username will be one of the most important features.

WhatsApp will allow users to choose their own Username from the personal information section in the app, so you don’t need to share your phone number with others, and always sharing your phone number will bring great privacy Buried security issues. And if this function is really launched, in the future, as long as you share your username to others, you will get it! And the username is easier to remember, which can make it easier to chat in groups, especially when you chat with people you don’t know well.

However, it is currently unknown when the Meta plan will add the username function to WhatsApp, and whether it will be possible to hide the username to further protect privacy. These are all unknowns. It seems that they are still in the early stages of development. For the time being, let everyone look forward to it. It is a good function no matter what, if there is further progress in the future, remember to continue to pay attention to the sharing of ePrice!
