Hyderabad: WhatsApp plans to replace phone numbers with usernames. This means users will be able to choose a unique username for their account instead of using their phone number. The username will be used to identify the user within the application and will be visible to other users. This will make it easier for users to find each other and also use WhatsApp without sharing phone numbers.
The username feature is currently in development and it’s unclear when it will be released. This feature will be available in WhatsApp Settings > Profile. However, WhatsApp said it will release it to beta testers in a future update of the app.
Here are some benefits of using a username on WhatsApp:
- It will be easier to find other users.
- You don’t have to share your phone number with everyone.
- It would be easier to create a new account.
- You can use WhatsApp without a phone number.
If you are interested in using your username on WhatsApp, you can sign up as a beta tester. To do this, go to the WhatsApp website and click on the “Become a Beta Tester” button. After signing up, you will receive updates that include username functionality.
