After the news that WhatsApp has unveiled several new features in recent months, now there's yet another innovation.

According to WABetaInfo websiteWhatsApp is also testing the ability for each user to have an alternative name - a username - linked to their account.

In fact, as Notícias ao Minuto reports, little is known about this new feature, but it is believed that it could be used to allow WhatsApp users to find each other in the app without having to enter their cell phone number.
