As the WABetaInfo publication announced with its new report, in the latest beta version of the WhatsApp Android application, there is a new field in the profile section of users that asks them to choose a unique username for themselves. However, it’s not even clear yet how usernames will work on Meta’s messaging app!
Usernames increase the privacy of WhatsApp users
However, the ability to choose a username could offer a significant change in finding people as well as increasing users’ privacy, as currently, users of the app have to share their number or QR code to connect with others.

WhatsApp has been working on significant features for some time and even made some of them available to its users. Among the new features of this messaging service, we can mention the possibility of editing messages up to 15 minutes after sending. Next to the messages edited with this feature, the word Edited is displayed; Of course, the audience does not get access to the history of edits.
