WhatsApp details security measures for new username feature
WhatsApp has announced that its new username functionality will feature various protections to help prevent fraud and identity theft. Strangers will not be able to look up usernames, and the app will display alerts when a user receives a message from an unknown contact for the first time. Additionally, the platform plans to track user reports and blocked profiles to identify potential scams. To prevent impersonation, usernames associated with public figures will be reserved exclusively for their actual owners.
