WhatsApp is reportedly working on a feature which will allow users to set a unique username on the platform.
According to a WABetaInfo report, the feature is still under development and it hasn’t been rolled out to the messaging platform’s beta testers yet.
The feature will help users add another layer of privacy to their accounts, the report stated, adding that instead of identifying contacts only through their phone numbers, the new update can help users opt for a unique username for this purpose.

Recently, the Meta-owned messaging platform has rolled out several new updates for its users.
The platform had recently introduced an edit feature, allowing users to make corrections in their messages within 15 minutes of sending them. To use the feature, users simply need to long press on a sent message and choose edit button from the menu.
Along with the edit button, the platform has also started rolling out a chat lock feature which allows users to hide chats. This will enable hiding both one-to-one and group chats. According to the platform, users can hide chats by going to chat info for each chat they want to lock. After locking chats, users can access them by using the password of their device.
