A copy of WABetaInfo Report According to, after the new WhatsApp feature comes, users will be able to create a unique username for their profile. These usernames will be used when you do not want to share your contact number with someone and want to connect with them only through username. But there is a condition here! Currently, this feature will be brought only for WhatsApp web users.
We also saw a screenshot which confirms this feature. The feature will be most beneficial for those who do not want to share their mobile number while chatting with different people. According to reports, this feature is still being developed. It can be introduced with some minor changes in the design.
According to reports, since the username will be unique, the availability of the username will also have to be checked while choosing it. That is, if you want a username and someone has already chosen the same name, then you will have to try another username.
Earlier, it was said that the company is also working on another new feature that will allow users to search other users on the app by their username. This feature is reportedly being prepared for an upcoming update on the app for Android users.
