WhatsApp is about to launch an innovative search bar feature aimed at changing the way people connect with each other, with a focus on privacy. The forthcoming feature will allow users to find friends and contacts through their usernames instead of sharing mobile numbers to facilitate easy connections while respecting user’s privacy.
Privacy Centric Connectivity
The main objective of this feature is to allow for smoother connections while ensuring that the user’s privacy is respected. Soon, it is expected that people will be able to use usernames instead of phone numbers when they choose the username search feature. This would be beneficial especially for those who are very secretive about their lives and who do not want their details available to anybody.
User Controlled Flexibility
This aspect has its beauty in that it can be a choice by the user. Users have the right to choose whether or not they would like to use this function. As such, it allows them control over their privacy settings.
Username That Can Be Customized
Besides, users will have the freedom to manage their own usernames as they deem appropriate. In terms of comfort level and preference, users will therefore have some adjustments to make on how personal and setting preferences can be made.
Expected Future Update
It is not yet ready but when it eventually does come out, this username search feature promises great things.
