WhatsApp is set to launch a feature that will allow users to use the app without revealing their phone numbers. The messaging platform is describing the new feature as a major privacy improvement for its more than 3 billion users worldwide.
The feature, which will be gradually introduced over the coming months, allows users to reserve a unique username through the WhatsApp mobile app. Once enabled, users will be able to exchange usernames instead of phone numbers when starting conversations.
The company said that usernames will be optional, allowing users to continue using their phone numbers if they prefer. Those who choose to create a username will be able to change or remove it at any time.
Usernames will be limited to 35 characters and will not require users to reveal their phone numbers to new contacts. However, a phone number will still be required to create and maintain a WhatsApp account.
WhatsApp said users will be notified when the feature becomes available to their accounts. The option to reserve a username will appear within account or profile settings on the mobile app and will not initially be available through the web or desktop versions of WhatsApp.
