WhatsApp will finally get usernames - you will be able to hide your phone number

WhatsApp is preparing to implement a long-awaited feature - the use of usernames. This innovation will allow communication without the need to reveal your real phone number.

The option was noticed in the latest beta version of the application, although it is not yet available even for testers. However, there is confirmation in the code that users will soon be able to create unique aliases. Apparently, the company is now actively working on changes to the interface and rules for the new nickname system.
