Users will soon be able to register a unique username, which they can then share with others to initiate conversations. This update is promoted as a privacy enhancement, enabling users to protect their personal phone number when interacting with new contacts or in groups. The usernames are not intended as social media handles for searching or discovery, but rather as a direct way to connect with specific individuals. Users can reserve their preferred username now by updating the app and navigating to settings, with the feature expected to become active later this year.
