To protect phone numbers .. “WhatsApp” launches a new privacy feature
The “WhatsApp” application revealed that it has tested a new feature to develop the ability to set the “WhatsApp” username instead of the phone number, as this allows users to send messages without identifying their phone numbers.
This will raise the degree of privacy of accounts; According to WABetaInfo, instead of relying on phone numbers to locate contacts, a unique and easy-to-remember username is chosen without the number.
The site revealed the new feature in the latest version of “WhatsApp beta” for Android 2.23.11.15, indicating that the feature is currently under development and is not yet visible.
Additional details about how the feature will work remain unclear; Except that the feature allows users to communicate with companies privately via name; Thus protecting their phone numbers.
