WhatsApp has introduced several updates, including live and motion picture sharing, Meta AI chat themes, AI-powered video call backgrounds, and document scanning for Android users. A significant upcoming feature is the introduction of usernames, allowing users to connect without sharing their phone numbers, enhancing privacy and ease of discovery. This change aligns WhatsApp with other messaging apps like Telegram and Signal. Additionally, a username reservation system is being developed to allow users to reserve their preferred usernames before the official launch, preventing early adopters from monopolizing popular choices. This reservation feature will be found in the profile section of WhatsApp, just below the phone number.
