Although WhatsApp It is the most used messaging application in the world, it is not characterized by being the most complete or quick implementing something, and we can see it in different functions that others such as Telegram They have for years, and that goal has not added, despite the request of the users.
Among them is the one we will talk about today, a Tool that allows us to share our WhatsAppbut without having to give the phone number, which makes it much more private and comfortable, especially with people we do not know or want, for the moment, to have it.
User names on WhatsApp
Although it has not yet been launched, and we do not know when it will be done, there have been evidence that it could be very close, among which we see rules for the Creation of that user namewhich would replace the phone number, and with which we can add someone without knowing this.
User names cannot start with “www.”, Since this could deceive users to think they are interacting with an official website entity. User names must include at least one letter, which prevents the use of user names that are composed only of numbers or symbols. Only certain characters are allowed: lowercase letters (AZ), numbers (0-9), low points and scripts. This will help maintain a clean and predictable structure in all user names.
That is, once they launch this function, you will have a new section where you can select your username (do it quickly if you want something exclusive, since they cannot be repeated). Once you have it, you can give it to another person, who, looking for you in the app, can speak to you as in Telegram, Without having your phone contactwhich, if you don't give it to him, will never know.
This is something interesting, since it allows you to block that person, and that I cannot call you, add to other sides, send you SMS, or look for information from you, something useful in the labor sector, applications of meeting people, etc.
As we said, this is something that will be implemented in the future, due to leaked data such as the requirements of the name, but do not ensure that it will be in a short one, so we could have the surprise and that when you read this already, or that we take a year to see it, even if we hope it is less, because it is quite easy to add, and that many people ask.
Telegram has it since its inception, more than 10 years ago, as well as other tools that WhatsApp still does not implement. Many people prefer the first of these apps, but the popularity of the goal makes many cannot go to the one they want, so we hope they pay attention to us and at least add things, although it is slow.
And you, what do you think of this? Would you use it, or are you more to give the number to everyone? Leave us a comment with your opinion and valuation.
