WhatsApp without a number? Update foresees RADICAL change in the application

WhatsApp has been working tirelessly to improve its platform to remain the world’s leading messaging network.

Therefore, in recent times, the application has been launching new test functions that aim to improve the user experience, leaving the public eager to have access to the new features.

This time, the company is testing its new plan. It is capable of completely changing the security of those who use the network, increasing each person’s privacy. In this sense, the social network is launching a feature that eliminates the need to share your cell phone number.

WhatsApp will no longer require the use of a cell phone number

With the new update available only for the beta version of the app, build 2.23.11.15, users will no longer have to share their mobile numbers in order to chat with people.

Basically, the app will eliminate the need to link a cell phone number to the account that appears to strangers, and will only require the creation of a “username” or nickname. This way, people will only need to search for the username to find the individual, just like on Instagram.

How will it work?

The user can choose a username to be visible to anyone looking for them. This name is up to each person to choose, and can be their own name or any other.

However, it is important to note that these nicknames cannot be repeated, that is, you must choose a unique name to differentiate each account.

This type of update and improvement can help maintain people’s privacy and security, maintaining the confidentiality of their number, which can easily be linked to their CPF or cloned.

Furthermore, it is not yet known when it will be available for all cell phones and smartphones, with all versions of Android. Finally, we only know that the primary tests of the function are being carried out and that it may soon reach all users.
