If you haven’t reserved your WhatsApp username. Go do it today before someone steals it

If you haven't reserved your WhatsApp username. Go do it today before someone steals it. You got to do it today. WhatsApp just launched a brand new feature called Usernames. So you don't actually have to give your phone number out to everyone you meet. All you have to do is have your username. Hi I'm Caitlin, I'm a cybersecurity data privacy expert and I want to help you protect yourself online. Let's go. And this is super important because a lot of people don't realize that every time to someone you're also giving them your address, your date of birth and basically more personal details because all that can be reverse search online using data brokers. It's not officially out yet, but you can actually go and reserve it. And you are able as of June 29th. Before we continue, be sure to hit that follow button. What I love about it is that they really thought about privacy. First is that there's no public directory. So like Venmo, you can search people, come up. You can't do that on WhatsApp. You have to have the exact name to contact them. Also, if you're like me and you're in the public eye and you want to reserve your Instagram or Facebook name, you can add an extra layer of security or a security password that others must know to message you first. So here is how to grab yours right now. Update your WhatsApp, tap on settings, go to account, then tap username and type in name and hit confirm. Pro tip if you run a small business or your content creator, go check if your Instagram or Facebook handle is still available to claim before someone steals it. Do this before someone steals it and share this video with literally anyone who uses WhatsApp. Stay safe out there.
