“This means that instead of relying solely on phone numbers to identify contacts, users will be able to opt for a unique and memorable username: by allowing users to choose usernames, WhatsApp may offer users the ability to reach other people by entering a username within the app, without knowing their phone numbers,” WABetainfo said.
This feature is still in development, but it may allow users to privately connect with businesses, protecting their phone numbers, or even with any user.
