WhatsApp has received an extension to respond to the government's concerns regarding its new username feature. Assuring authorities it won't launch the feature in India until discussions conclude, the platform was granted three extra days to submit its reply. The government had previously flagged potential increases in online fraud and impersonation with the feature, which allows communication without sharing phone numbers.
