Testing the feature to run WhatsApp by name without a phone number. WhatsApp, the world's largest instant messaging application, is working on a plan to make the platform easier and better for users.
However, now the news has come out that WhatsApp is likely to introduce such a unique feature, which will change the very concept of the messaging application.
Yes, there are reports that the feature to run WhatsApp as a username without a phone number is likely to be introduced soon, and testing has also started.
According to the website that monitors the updates of WhatsApp, after the Android mobile users, now the users of the web version of WhatsApp have also been given access to the feature of creating a username.
Currently, limited users in limited countries are given access to the username creation feature, and it is likely to be rolled out after successful testing.
Under the above-mentioned feature, one will be able to contact users by searching WhatsApp by their username instead of their phone number.
That is, just as any person can be found by writing a username on any Facebook or Twitter account, in the same way, people can be found by their username on WhatsApp.
Although the above feature is being introduced for security reasons, it can also be a threat to some users, as anyone can search for them by their name and contact them.
Under the said feature, the user will have the option to create his username with any name or number, including words instead of his name, and he will also be provided with the facility to change the username frequently.
It is too early to say for how long the feature will be rolled out, but it is likely to roll out in the next few months.
