WhatsApp has started rolling out the usernames feature, allowing users to create unique usernames, according to a report. This is said to be a privacy and security measure, which will let users share their usernames instead of phone numbers with others. The feature is reportedly live on WhatsApp for Android and iOS apps. The instant messaging platform is said to be rolling out the feature in a phased manner. It is reportedly available for a limited number of users. The feature might appear in the profile settings section within the app.
