WhatsAppWhatsApp usernames

Claim your @username on WhatsApp.

Give customers a searchable handle for your WhatsApp number — adopt a name WhatsApp has reserved for you, or your own brand. One username per number, and your phone number stays visible. All from the WA.cr app.

  • Pick a name

    Type your desired handle — we check the format as you go and suggest names WhatsApp has reserved for you (higher chance of approval).

    Change your username, or move one between your own numbers, whenever you like — straight from Settings → Channels.

Good to know

  • 3–35 characters — letters, digits, full stops and underscores.
