WhatsApp Username Feature Coming Soon | JQJO

WhatsApp is developing a new username feature, allowing users to connect without sharing their phone numbers. Spotted in a beta version, the feature lets users choose a unique handle similar to other messaging apps. Usernames must follow specific rules, including using only lowercase letters, numbers, periods, and underscores. Upon creation, a confetti animation confirms the username. Username changes will notify contacts, and a future update will allow checking username availability. While not yet released, its presence in beta suggests an imminent launch.
