EN: WhatsApp username reservations are now open, here’s how to claim yours – 9to5Mac:
Starting today, WhatsApp is rolling out username reservations, with users receiving an in-app notification when the option becomes available to them in Settings > Account > Username.
With support for usernames, WhatsApp users will be able to message new people and businesses or join group chats without necessarily revealing their phone numbers. The company notes that while the feature will be optional, usernames add an extra layer of privacy by giving users greater control over who can see their number.
