WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow people to set their username on the app. Currently, to create an account on WhatsApp or to message or call someone, a mobile number is required. After setting the username, the need for mobile number will be eliminated. This feature is currently being tested. Latest reports related to this have revealed that Android users will be able to use their Facebook and Instagram usernames on WhatsApp also.

The feature has come in the testing version

According to reports, users will also be able to set their Facebook and Instagram username on WhatsApp. This feature has arrived on the testing version of Android. This shows that the company is working on it and after necessary changes, it will be rolled out for the users in the upcoming update.

How will the feature work?

This feature is considered very important for user privacy. After this feature is rolled out, users will see the username option in WhatsApp settings. Here you will be able to set and save your username. You will also be able to set a Facebook or Instagram username as per your wish. After this, the company will verify through Meta Account Center that this username is yours. After verification, your chosen username will be linked to the WhatsApp account. If you do not use Facebook and Instagram, you may have to wait a while to link your username on WhatsApp. The full system rollout of usernames may take a little longer.

New safety feature will come on WhatsApp

A new strict account setting feature is coming to WhatsApp. With this, all the security settings of the app can be applied with a single toggle. With this, users will not have to set different privacy options and settings. By activating this mode, the user’s IP address will be protected and no one will be able to track the user based on location data.

As of now there is no limit on sending messages on WhatsApp. Users can send countless messages every day, but this is going to change soon. WhatsApp is going to take a new step to stop spam. Under this, a monthly limit may be imposed on messages sent to people who do not reply. This decision will be applicable to businesses as well as users. This decision is currently being considered and its testing is going to start soon.

How will the system work?

According to reports, Meta has confirmed to start its trial in many countries in the next few weeks. However, information about message limit has not been revealed yet. When the new system is introduced, the message sent to every user who does not reply will be counted towards the monthly quota. For example, if you sent two messages to someone and he did not reply, then these two messages will be counted towards the monthly quota. In this, messages sent to those users with whom you chat or who reply to your messages will not be counted.

Will it affect common users?

WhatsApp says that this change will not affect common users and their chatting. This decision will affect those people and business accounts who send a block or spam message. Let us tell you that WhatsApp has more than three billion users worldwide and now it is being used for everything from political propaganda to marketing and promotion of fake schemes. Even after imposing message forward limit and introducing many reporting tools, there has been no reduction in spam messages. With the new change, Meta hopes that spam messages will be controlled.
