The latest beta update for WhatsApp on Android and iOS includes the “phased rollout” of usernames, which have been in the works for years and allow users to keep their phone number private.
WhatsApp is currently testing usernames with a very limited number of users. To check if you are part of this initial rollout, you need to open your profile settings. Here, users who have access will notice a dedicated option for usernames. If the option is available, users can tap on it to begin creating their username.
