WhatsApp has introduced a robust feature on its platform for the security of its users. Now, your number will not be stolen when you talk to unknown people or numbers. Often a situation arises where we have to send a message or file to an unknown person on WhatsApp when we don’t want to save their number. In such a situation, the new feature will prove very useful, which will help to send a message or file on WhatsApp to an unknown person without saving or sharing the phone number. It will connect you with other users. In fact, we are talking about the WhatsApp search username feature, which is now coming for web clients as well. This facility is currently under development.
This feature was recently seen on WhatsApp Beta for Android. The company has specifically designed this feature on the platform to enhance the privacy and security of its users. The new facility allows users to use their username to view contacts. This facility is already available for users using the WhatsApp community.
WhatsApp Web will soon get a username search for privacy protection The popular WhatsApp beta update tracking platform WABetaInfo has seen a username feature for WhatsApp web clients. As you can see in the posted picture, WhatsApp web client users will be able to search their contacts and connect with them using their unique username on the platform. This feature eliminates the need for a phone number and helps protect user privacy by designing to enhance the user experience. This feature will roll out in a short time in future updates of WhatsApp Web.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp users on Android and web clients will soon be able to set a user name on the platform to personalize their profile. This username will serve as an identifier for contacts. Once the user sets their username, their number will be hidden from other users. It will be easier for users to find their contacts using their personal username and their privacy will also be protected.
This is a new feature just like what Telegram has been offering to its users for some time. This will also help Meta to integrate its three platforms including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. However, this is a feature that will allow users to chat with unknown people without revealing their personal phone number. This will make it easier for WhatsApp users to share their location with parcel delivery people or service providers, which is not currently possible without saving their number, meaning that your profile photo, number, stories etc. will not be visible to strangers now.
