O What App is developing a new function: identification through username. If implemented, it will remove the need for people to have the phone numbers of the people they want to exchange messages with.
Briefly, the novelty will work as follows: the user will register a username (which can be their first name, a nickname, etc.) and this name will be linked to that person’s account. This way, for example, it will be possible for someone to get in touch with just the username, without needing the phone number.
It is worth mentioning that the usernames will be unique; that is, two distinct users cannot have the same name. Therefore, when the function becomes available, it is worth rushing to reserve the desired name.
Those who use WhatsApp Beta and have the 2.23.11.15 update already have access to the functionality.
This measure aims to increase the security for WhatsApp users as it will no longer be necessary to pass on the phone number. Telegram, on the other hand, already provides the function. (With information from TecMundo)
