In order to better protect the privacy of its users, WhatsApp will soon offer several very useful features: the possibility of choosing a pseudonym to identify yourself, instead of using your phone number.
Meta is rolling out new features to improve security and usability for multi-device users.
For almost a year, numerous indications have suggested that WhatsApp is preparing to launch several major features: connection by user name and “Chat Lock”.
Why usernames?
With username login, users would no longer need to use their phone number to log into the messaging app. They could simply choose a unique username and use it to identify themselves.
The goal of introducing usernames on WhatsApp is to connect without necessarily revealing your phone number. This new feature should reduce the app’s reliance on the phone number for authentication.
As a result, one can consider simplified connections to other devices such as PCs, tablets or a second smartphone, without the need to be connected from a primary smartphone. Additionally, the use of usernames will allow the adoption of pseudonyms.
More security with “Chat Lock”
According to WABetaInfo, a site specializing in WhatsApp updates, Meta is rolling out new features for multi-device users. Among these is a chat lock function synchronized between devices. WhatsApp is also reportedly working on a new security feature for its web interface: “Chat Lock”. This feature will allow users to lock their sensitive chats, making them inaccessible without additional authentication.
Users can exchange sensitive information in chats that they want to protect against unauthorized access.
Additionally, by planning to introduce this feature, WhatsApp is committed to providing consistent and standardized security across all devices and platforms. Indeed, locked discussions will be synchronized across all platforms of the application.
You will have to wait a little longer before you can take advantage of these new features on WhatsApp. They should be added in future app updates, scheduled for later this year.
