The screen sharing feature will allow users to share their screens with other users in a call. This could be useful for collaborating on work projects, giving presentations, or just showing off your latest vacation photos.
The username feature will allow users to create a unique username for their WhatsApp account. This could be useful for finding friends who don’t have your phone number, or for signing in to WhatsApp on multiple devices.
Both features are currently in development and there is no ETA for when they will be released. However, they will likely be rolled out in the coming months.
These improvements are all part of WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to make the app more user-friendly and secure.
Here are some additional details about the two new features:
