Media giant WhatsApp to introduce usernames to it’s clients, the company said.
“Your phone number is personal and sometimes you want to connect without handing it over. That’s why we’re introducing usernames for WhatsApp,” WhatsApp said.
”Starting this week, you can reserve a username to use later this year when we launch the feature. It takes just a few seconds, make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp and then go to Settings > Account > Username.”
WhatsApp is following footsteps of other social media platforms such as Facebook and X which allows people to choose usernames.
