Privacy is becoming a bigger part of the conversation, and Beldex has been building around it for years.

Everyone should have access to privacy, and that's something Beldex is helping make possible

I think Beldex's BChat is still a step ahead as it doesn't even require a phone number in the first place.

A good move. It's nice to see privacy getting more attention, and @BeldexCoin has been focused on that from the start.

WhatsApp phone number verification is connected to LinkedIn identity check. It’s also connected to Facebook and Instagram identity. You cannot use linkedin while your WhatsApp number is different.

What do WhatsApp usernames really mean for your privacy? The new feature lets you chat without sharing your phone number, adding an extra layer of privacy. But it also changes how people can find and identify you on the platform. NDTV’s AI & Tech Editor, Aayush Ailawadi (Aayush Ailawadi) explains what usernames, username keys, and the new privacy controls actually mean before you reserve yours. #WhatsApp #Privacy #Tech360

WhatsApp is replacing phone numbers. And you need to adapt your integration now. Users can now adopt a username. And when they do, their phone number eventually stops arriving in your webhooks. The replacement is the Business-scoped User ID (BSUID). If your WhatsApp integration depends on phone numbers, you may be losing messages already. We created: 1️⃣ A live chart of the % of messages arriving without a phone number 2️⃣ A complete guide on this change
