WhatsApp has announced a new privacy-focused 'Username' feature that allows users to chat without sharing their mobile numbers. Starting this week, users can reserve their unique usernames, with the feature rolling out globally by the end of 2026. This update aims to enhance security, especially in group chats or when connecting with new people. There will be no public directory; users must know the exact username to initiate contact. Additionally, a 'Username Key' option will be available for extra protection, ensuring only authorized people can send the first message. https://www.punjabitribuneonline.com/news/chandigarh/whatsapp-new-feature-2026-now-chat-on-whatsapp-without-sharing-phone-number/ #Creator program
