Although WhatsApp has been focusing more on artificial intelligence features lately, it does not neglect other issues that improve the user experience. The latest information reveals that the platform is working on a new feature that will eliminate the need to share phone numbers.
Username Feature Detected in WhatsApp Web Version Beta
For some time now, there have been reports that WhatsApp has been working on a username feature that would eliminate the need to share phone numbers. In the past, we have even seen evidence of this feature in the betas of the Android and iOS versions of the app.
Finally, details about the username feature were discovered in the beta of the web version of the app. If all goes well, in the future WhatsApp users will be able to use the username feature that is a staple of social media apps like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
The feature, which allows users to find and connect with friends, family and contacts without having to create unique usernames and share phone numbers, is still in development and it’s unclear when it will be available.
