WhatsApp may soon let you create a username, and hide your phone number
Shortly after bringing its popular messaging app for iPad, WhatsApp Messenger is said to be working on a new feature that is likely to be appreciated by users. You may soon be able to create a username and share it with others, instead of giving them your phone number.
Username sharing is already available in many messaging services, including Signal and Telegram. Nevertheless, this is a welcome move from WhatsApp. Users will be able to choose a unique username for their account. There are quite a few rules about creating a username, it only supports lowercase letters. You need to include at least one letter for your username, and it should contain at least 3 characters, but cannot exceed 30.
