UK WhatsApp users urged to check settings now as new features rolled out
WhatsApp is introducing optional usernames that allow users to connect without sharing their phone number, marking a major privacy update. UK users are encouraged to check the latest app version and secure their preferred usernames early, as shorter and simpler names are expected to be claimed quickly. The feature will roll out gradually, with alerts appearing in the app once available. Experts advise selecting memorable yet non‑personal usernames to avoid privacy risks.
