Telegram's widely-appreciated attribute to be integrated into WhatsApp: Feature-sharing initiation.
Let the good times roll 🥳
Get ready for a new privacy-boosting feature in WhatsApp that'll have you grinning ear to ear! WhatsApp is taking a cue from the cool kids at Telegram and other messengers, introducing usernames instead of phone numbers in chats. This means you can connect with others without sharing your digits, providing a bit more privacy, especially when you're amidst strangers in group chats.
Sounding like a super-sleuth, the expert blog WABetaInfo managed to dig up this delightful tidbit from a hidden corner of the WhatsApp beta version. At the moment, the app shows your actual phone number – not so discreet, right?
So, what does this new hip username system entail? Here's the lowdown: your username will consist of 3 to 30 characters, preferably a mix of letters (lowercase a–z), numbers (0–9), periods, and underscores. ButNo Way José to starting your username with "www" or ending with a domain like ".com." And don't even think about having two consecutive periods!
Once you've selected a groovy, unique username, WhatsApp will give you a thumbs up with a fancy confetti animation. Your new username will then magically replace your phone number in conversations and group chats.
But fear not! If you've got folks saving yournumber in their contacts, they'll still be able to find and message you like old times – just with a bit more personal control over who can see you.
Still under wraps, this feature is getting close to its big debut. WABetaInfo has dropped hints about this update before, so you know it's got potential! So, grab your party hats and shake your tambourines – an update for one and all is on the way!
