Kathmandu. WhatsApp is soon making a big difference to its millions of users. You don’t have to provide your mobile number to chat with a new person. Just like you can connect and chat using a username on Telegram. The same is now coming to WhatsApp. <\/p>\n
The company has officially announced a new username feature. This feature allows people to start a chat by sharing their WhatsApp username instead of their phone number. The company said that from this week, users will be able to reserve the username of their choice. However, this feature will be rolled out gradually to all users. In countries where it is available, WhatsApp will provide this information through an in-app notification. <\/p>\n
Until now, a mobile number was required to chat with someone on WhatsApp. However, with the new feature, if you have created a username, the first person to contact you will not see your mobile number. This will further strengthen your privacy. <\/p>\n
According to WhatsApp, many people today want to join an event, class, office, society or group. However, he does not want to share his personal mobile number with everyone. Keeping this need in mind, the company has introduced this feature. People will now be able to start a conversation by providing their username. <\/p>\n
According to the company, WhatsApp has more than 3 billion users worldwide. So a lot of people may have the same priorities. For this reason, the company has introduced the option to reserve the username before the feature is launched. So that users can save their favorite name in advance. <\/p>\n
If you are having trouble choosing a username, WhatsApp will also provide a username generator. It will show you some suggestions based on your preferences. From which you can choose. <\/p>\n
This feature will be especially useful for content creators, influencers, small businesses, and organizations. If they already have a username on Instagram or Facebook, they can claim the same username on WhatsApp. This will ensure uniform identity across all platforms. <\/p>\n
According to WhatsApp, it will not become a social media platform. There will be no public guideline for searching usernames, nor will there be any usernames that can be searched. When contacting someone, you will need their correct username. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
