What Are WhatsApp Usernames? Features, Privacy & How They Work

What Is a WhatsApp Username? A WhatsApp username is a unique identifier linked to your WhatsApp account. Similar to usernames on Instagram, Telegram, or X (formerly Twitter), it lets others find and message you using a name instead of your phone number. For example: Username: @johnsmith Instead of sharing: +91 98765 43210 Once the feature becomes available, users can search and connect using usernames, reducing the need to expose personal contact information. Why Is WhatsApp Introducing Usernames? For years, WhatsApp required every account to be tied directly to a phone number. While this worked well for contacts already saved in your phone, it created privacy concerns when chatting with strangers or businesses. The new usernames feature aims to solve several problems: Better privacy Easier networking Safer online interactions Simplified business communication Reduced phone number sharing This makes WhatsApp more competitive with messaging platforms like Tele...

Apple might unveil first 5G supported low-cost iPhone SE in March

According to The Verge, a reliable source for Apple rumours has provided the news, and also divulged that the company is targeting March 8 for a spring event to show off these gadgets


American tech giant Apple might be planning to reveal a new low-cost iPhone SE with 5G, as well as a refreshed iPad Air that adds a new CPU and 5G for cellular-equipped models.

According to The Verge, a reliable source for Apple rumours has provided the news, and also divulged that the company is targeting March 8 for a spring event to show off these gadgets.

Rumours of an update for the iPhone SE have been around since before the iPhone 13 launched, and now reports suggest that people should expect to see a faster chip and improved cameras inside a shell that's similar to the existing model that has a 4.7-inch screen.

The current iPhone SE was introduced in 2020, and its USD 399 price is the same now as it was on launch day, so an A15 CPU and 5G could make it a much better value. There's no word on the fate of Touch ID, but without a design update, that seems unlikely to change.

For iPhones and iPads that use Face ID, the source has said that a new version of iOS with mask-friendly facial recognition support in March should be expected.

Software updates could also add new emoji and the much-anticipated Universal Control feature that links a single keyboard and mouse setup to work across multiple Macs and iPads.

Speaking of the Mac, a new model with Apple's custom CPU tech inside could arrive in March also, although it's not tipped for the same event.

Later in 2022, fans can likely look forward to new iMac and Mac Pro desktops, a redesigned MacBook Air, an updated low-end MacBook Pro, three Apple Watches, four iPhone 14 models, and new AirPods.
