The Facility of Setting Username is Coming to WhatsApp

Popular messaging app WhatsApp has rolled out a new update through the Google Play Beta program, the version of which is 2.23.5.12. This new update brings a new feature that many will love. This feature will be useful especially for those who like to work with groups on WhatsApp. As a result of this feature, messages from unknown numbers in a group chat will show push name or username instead of phone number.

According to WaBetaInfo, this feature first arrived in WhatsApp Android Beta 2.22.25.10 update. In this update, instead of the first phone number, the group chat message appears with the username. As a result, it will be easier to recognize messages from unknown contacts in group chats. In the latest update, the feature has also come to the chatlist.

From now on push name or username will be displayed instead of phone number. As a result, it will be very easy to know who the unknown contact is. The username will be displayed without saving the new contact. The feature will be more useful when chatting in the same group with unknown members. In that case, it will be easier to recognize unknown group members in chat and group participant list instead of phone number.

This feature has already been received by some iOS beta testers after installing the iOS 23.5.0.73 update. However, that version still doesn't hide phone numbers from members and still shows them in chat bubbles.

This new feature has been received by some beta testers who have installed the latest Android beta version update from the Play Store. It is expected that more users will get this feature in the coming days. Maybe in the future you can only contact the app using username.

All in all, recognizing unknown contacts in group chats will be quite easy thanks to this new feature. Due to this push name feature, group chat management and communication will be more convenient. All WhatsApp users are expected to get access to this feature very soon. Usually many beta version features don't make it to the public version, but it's an important and functional one, so hopefully it will come to everyone as soon as possible.
