The world’s most popular messaging app Whatsapp has released a large update to increase the privacy of its users and make dialogue more secure. Now you will be able to chat on WhatsApp without sharing your phone number, who will prove to be a game-changer for those who want to keep their personal information confidential.
Under this amazing new feature, Whatsapp has introduced the concept of ‘Username’. This new option will allow you to create a unique username. As soon as this feature is completely rolled out, you will be able to make your desired username, and then through this username other people will be able to contact you, just like other social media platforms.
How will this feature work?
Currently you need his phone number to start chatting with someone on Whatsapp. But with this new update, you will only need to know whatsapp username of another person. This will increase your privacy much more, because now you will not need to give your personal phone number to strangers or those who are not fully familiar with you, but still want to interact on WhatsApp.
For example, if you meet someone in an online forum, event or social gathering and want to maintain contact on Whatsapp, you can just share your username. It will also help prevent unwanted calls or spam messages that often come from sharing numbers.
Privacy will get priority:
This feature will be especially beneficial for users who are more careful about their online appearance. Whether you are associated with a business, part of online communities, or simply concerned about your privacy, this new update will help you to protect your phone number from widely circulating. It brings Whatsapp closer to other popular messaging and social media platforms such as telegram or Instagram, where it is common to make contacts through username.
The date of fully rollout of this feature by WhatsApp has not been clarified yet, but it will certainly take users’ chatting experience to a new level and play an important role in protecting their privacy. Be prepared to make your conversation even more secure and private!
