California: Instant messaging application WhatsApp is going to introduce several new features for its web version. These features include a new sidebar, a redesigned dark mode and the option to create a username for your profile.
In October this year, it was reported that Meta’s sub-app is working on a username feature, after which one user will no longer need another user’s phone number to communicate. However, this feature, which is currently in testing stages, has been released to a few mobile users of the app.
But now a recent report by WhatsApp Beta Info suggests that the company is working on expanding the scope of this feature to the web version.
