WhatsApp Web To Allow Username Search Without Sharing Phone Number, it’s anticipated that WhatsApp’s username-based search feature will improve security and foster more private communication without requiring the disclosure of any personal information.
It has been reported that WhatsApp is developing a new feature that would enable users to control their privacy more fully when using WhatsApp Web. Users may no longer need to give others their phone numbers to communicate with them on the instant messaging app.
According to reports, the developers are working on a feature that will let users look up other people on the network using just their identities. There had already been rumors that the chat app is developing the feature for Android users. According to recent reports, WhatsApp Web may soon get the feature.
According to a tip by WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo, the company is developing a feature for its Web client that will enable users to search for one another’s usernames on the network and connect with them. Currently, to communicate on WhatsApp, users have to exchange phone numbers. According to the description, this function will allow users to interact with individuals without having to give their phone number to someone they do not want to share it with.
It is anticipated that WhatsApp’s username-based search feature will improve security and foster more private communication without requiring the disclosure of any personal information. According to a screenshot of the work-in-progress feature included in the post, users will be able to connect with anyone by looking up their username, phone number, or name once it becomes accessible.
Telegram also has a feature like this. The same username-based search function has reportedly been in the works for WhatsApp’s Android app. According to a recent rumor, a future version is anticipated to include this feature for WhatsApp Web users as well.
This news was made just one day after it was claimed that WhatsApp was also developing a feature that would let users establish usernames directly from the WhatsApp website. Notably, as per the earlier report, users will have the freedom to modify their WhatsApp username whenever they choose.
