Handle with care! Perks and perils of new WhatsApp shift - The Economic Times
WhatsApp's new username feature sparks debate on privacy. While it can shield your number from new contacts, especially in groups, easy-to-guess usernames risk unwanted messages. Public figures should use PINs or verified accounts. Businesses can still reach you if they have your number, but future interactions remain unclear. This shift makes WhatsApp more like Telegram, with calls remaining account-based.
