WhatsApp has submitted its reply to the Centre's notice on its proposed username feature. The government is examining the response after warning that the rollout could raise fraud and impersonation risks.
The notice was issued by the Centre in connection with the planned feature. Officials have flagged potential issues related to online fraud and impersonation attacks under the IT Act.
The development comes as other platforms such as Telegram and Signal already offer username options.
