    According to WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp is set to launch an exciting update that grants users the ability to select usernames alongside their phone numbers. This represents a significant departure for the messaging platform, which has traditionally centered its user identification solely on phone numbers. This forthcoming feature holds paramount importance in terms of bolstering security and privacy since it empowers users to share a distinctive ID rather than their personal phone numbers. While the specifics regarding potential restrictions on username selection remain uncertain, it is advisable for users to promptly secure their desired usernames before they are claimed by others.
