The new username feature allows WhatsApp users to connect without sharing their phone number, making it easier to protect your privacy and claim your identity before the official rollout. Posted 1 minute ago Aliya Karimjee WhatsApp’s new username feature makes private messaging easier than ever. (Canva) What to know Usernames let you chat on WhatsApp without displaying your phone number. Reservations are open now. Secure your preferred name before the feature launches. You can use an existing Instagram or Facebook username, or try WhatsApp’s generator. The feature will roll out gradually, and you’ll be notified when it’s available in your country. Ever hesitated to give your phone number to someone you just met, but still wanted to stay in touch? Now, WhatsApp is rolling out usernames, a feature designed to help you connect more privately. In anticipation of the feature’s launch later this year, WhatsApp has begun allowing users to reserve usernames. According to WhatsApp, the early reservation period is designed to help users secure unique usernames before they’re made available globally. “With over three billion people on WhatsApp, a lot of names overlap, which is why we’re opening reservations early so everyone has the opportunity to select the username

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court has held that mere creation or administration of a WhatsApp group does not, by itself, make the creator or administrator criminally liable for every post made by its members. The court passed this order in a bail application of one Syed Abdul Mannan facing a case of sharing blasphemous and sacrilegious posts, allegedly. The court dismissed the bail as the petitioner failed to make out a case for further inquiry and directed the trial court to expedite the trial.

Such inaction may become evidentially relevant when considered with other circumstances showing conscious facilitation, encouragement, common intention, conspiracy, abetment or intentional participation, or where a statutory duty to act exists, the court added. The court remarked that liability may, however, arise where the group is created for an unlawful purpose, where the administrator himself participates in the circulation of such content, facilitates or encourages its circulation, acts in concert with others, or where common intention, conspiracy or abetment is shown from the

The feature is not yet live and will be rolled out "slowly later this year." Don't Miss: A single bad hire can set a startup back years.

Spokespersons for Telegram and Signal did not have an immediate comment to share on the notices. File photo for representational purposes only. | Photo Credit: Dado Ruvic The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) on Thursday (July 2, 2026) sent notices to Telegram and Signal, seeking information on their username feature. The notice comes shortly after a similar missive was sent to WhatsApp on Wednesday (July 1, 2026). The Meta-owned messaging platform is yet to implement the feature anywhere in the world, but is taking reservations for usernames. Spokespersons for Telegram and Signal did not have an immediate comment to share on the notices (Telegram was contacted outside normal business hours in the United Arab Emirates). The username feature appeared to remain available on both platforms well into Thursday evening. The Union government’s move against the three messaging platforms comes on the heels of a week-long ban of Telegram, after authorities argued that backdated PDF files could lead to people mistakenly assuming a question paper was leaked. Telegram fought against the ban in the Delhi High Court, calling the move a “mistake”. The court sided with the government, holding the short ban a proportionate response. Telegram was unblocked after

WhatsApp this week started rolling out username reservations ahead of the broader launch planned later this year. The feature — which lets people find and message each other by handle instead of phone number — is already raising impersonation concerns, drawing scrutiny from security experts and regulators in India, the app’s largest market, with more than 500 million users. The rollout marks a shift in how people identify one another on WhatsApp. Instead of relying on phone numbers as the primary identifier, users will increasingly interact through platform-managed usernames, a change that Meta says improves privacy but that critics argue could create new opportunities for impersonation. In early testing, TechCrunch found usernames resembling prominent politicians, celebrities, business figures, and public institutions — including “indiamodi,” “shahrukh.actor,” “teamamitabh,” “ambanijio,” and “rbi_verify” — were still available to reserve. These reference Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, and Amitabh Bachchan, billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s telecom company Jio, and the Reserve Bank of India, respectively. Separately, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said on X that he couldn’t reserve “cz_binance,” the handle he already uses on that platform. Asked about how it protects against impersonation, Meta told TechCrunch it reserves usernames for public figures
