Great Change – Whatsapp works on a new option

Whatsapp works on the introduction of new functions to the application. Once the company has published several new functions last week, Wabetainfo now transmits a new option that will soon arrive Android users of WhatsApp applications.

Thus whatsapp works on the introduction of a new feature that will allow users to book user names in advance, so that everyone has an honest opportunity to provide the desired alias when the system becomes available to everyone.

This option is currently in development and is not still publicly available, but according to the information published by Wabetainfo, the function is already tested within the beta version of the application.

The idea is that users can reserve their desired username in advance, instead of waiting for the option to become available so they try to "catch" the name before others. In this way whatsapp wants to avoid situations in which the first users would take all attractive names, while they would remain only complicated variants. When the function becomes active, users who have already done the reservation will be able to activate their name immediately, without waiting and the risk that someone else takes it.

The new user name option is an important step because whatsapp is increasingly moving from the model based solely on the phone numbers to something that reminds other modern platforms such as telegrams, Instagram or Xa. This would mean that people will be able to communicate and search for contacts using usernames, without needing to share phone numbers. Thus, the privacy and safety of users could be better protected.

It is still unknown whether the user name booking will be free or WhatsApp will eventually limit the number of reservations per user. Also, it is not clear whether any user names will be specially protected or unavailable, for example, those containing brands or names of celebrities. In any case, the reservation system should allow fair access and avoid the later dissatisfaction of the user.

WhatsApp The user name reservation function is expected to introduce gradually, first among the beta testers, and then among the public. If everything goes to the plan, this could be one of the important steps in the evolution of WhatsAppa, which slowly switches from the classic message application to a comprehensive communication platform with more options and better user identity control.
