WhatsApp new feature: WhatsApp keeps introducing new features for a better user experience. This time, the messaging app is bringing a feature that will completely change the way users chat.
Yes, currently, we need a number to chat on WhatsApp, but after the upgrade to this new feature, we won’t need a number to chat. Furthermore, with the launch of this feature, WhatsApp chatting will become safer and easier than ever before.
Now chat will be done by username
According to WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp features, a new feature is going to be introduced on this messaging app in 2026. Now people across the world will be able to chat without revealing their phone number. Now, not the mobile number, only the username will be sufficient for chatting. This means that now there will be no need to share your number to talk to anyone. This feature will make the privacy of the user more secure. However, this feature will not be limited to just the username, it will also have a four-digit username key. Users will share this code along with their username so that only those people can connect with them whom they give permission.
The feature will be optional
This feature will be completely optional, meaning users will have the choice of whether to display their mobile number or just their username in their profile. According to reports, this feature is currently being tested in beta and will be rolled out to all users next year.
