Get Your WhatsApp Username Ready Before Everyone Else

WhatsApp is replacing phone-number-as-identity with usernames in June 2026. This means you can connect with people without sharing your phone number. Use this checklist to prepare: choose your username, secure your handle across Meta platforms, review privacy settings, and be ready on launch day. Share this checklist with friends and family so they are prepared too.
