Whatsapp has played a trick! Now the other person will not be able to know your mobile number

New Delhi. You must have WhatsApp in your mobile as well, you must be sending and receiving dozens of messages on it throughout the day. You must also be seeing the name or mobile number of the user of every message coming on it. But, the company has made a big update on its app. It is believed that after this update, the entire platform of WhatsApp will change, where the user will get more security. You will soon start seeing this update on your WhatsApp. We are giving you complete information about what will be its benefits and how it can be used.

According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has named its new feature ‘Username and PIN’. This feature will allow the user to keep a unique code or username instead of showing his name or phone number. It is being described as a big security for the user. WhatsApp’s intention is that right now people can get anyone’s mobile number from this app, but after the new update, it will not be easy to access anyone’s mobile number.

Phone number privacy is the goal
Currently, this feature is available for users of WhatsApp Android beta version 2.24.18.2. Other users will have to wait a little for the new update. The company has said that with this, users will be able to ensure the security of their phone number themselves as to whom they want to give their number or not. They will be able to keep a special username or code in place of the number.

You will have to enter a PIN for the message
Another big protection has been included in the new feature of WhatsApp. Under this, now there will be an option to create a pin code instead of username. This pin will work as an additional security. Especially for those people with whom you have never talked before. You will be able to share your 4 digit pin with special people. Once you set this pin on your WhatsApp, only the person with whom you share your pin will be able to message you.

Older people will not be affected
WhatsApp’s new security feature will not affect old users. This means that even if you activate the PIN or username feature, it will not affect the old people in your contact list. Such users will continue to see your mobile number. However, this feature will be completely optional and once you apply, your number and name will stop appearing.
