WhatsApp is testing a new feature that will allow users to chat without revealing their phone numbers. This feature, which is currently in beta testing, will enable users to create a unique username instead of sharing their phone number when starting a conversation. This enhances privacy, making it easier to chat with people without exposing personal contact details.
Additionally, WhatsApp is working on a PIN-based system that will allow users to secure their usernames, further preventing spam or unwanted contact. This feature is expected to be rolled out later this year, though an exact release date hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Another related update is that WhatsApp now allows users to hide their phone numbers from members of community groups they don’t know, providing more control over who can see their personal information.
