@secmxx This post isnβt clear. Who are being airlifted here? Terrorists are known as fighters definitely not the military or civilian jtf. Are suggesting terrorists now use helicopter in their operations?
Username reservations are here, as more and more people claim theirs, hereβs answers to the top questions youβre asking β¬οΈ
Q: Are usernames mandatory?
A: Nope, they are optional.
Q: What if the username I want isnβt available?
A: Thereβs a few reasons you might not be able to reserve the username you want:
1) Itβs an existing Instagram or Facebook username; these are reserved for their owners.
2) Weβve held well-known names and some variations of them - like public figures, celebrities, government entities and Meta-verified accounts - so they can only be claimed by their legitimate owners. If you try to reserve those, the system will say itβs not available.
3) Someone already claimed a common name, in that case use the username generator.
Q: What if someone creates a username similar to mine to impersonate me or run a scam, how do you stop someone from pretending to be me?
A: Usernames are not available for messaging yet. When they are, and you get a message from someone new, weβll let you know the country origin, and a warning for first time outreach. Well-known public-figure names and their variations are held for verified owners. Weβre also keeping a close eye on blocks and reports to take action against scammers.
Q: Can random people message me if they know or guess my username?
A: Just like you canβt search for a phone number in WhatsApp, you canβt search for a username. The best way to prevent someone from contacting you is to add a username key and to choose a username that is unique to WhatsApp.
All the current measures remain in place to prevent unwanted contact, including warnings with details about unknown senders (whether they're a new account, if you share groups, what country they're in) and the ability to block and report.
Q: What is a username key?
A: An extra layer of protection you can enable with your username, so that another user will have to know both your username and your username key to contact you. You can reset your key at any time to stop new inbound contact through your username.
Q: Do I have to link my other Meta accounts?
A: If you want the same username as your Instagram or Facebook account, youβll have to link them. This one of the ways to reduce impersonation and to make sure youβre the legitimate owner of the account. But after that, you can unlink the account if you want, or you can choose a username unique to WhatsApp.
Q: Can I change my username later?
A: Yes, as long as the new one you want is available.
A few more things to keep in mind...
People are making false claims about reserving popular or well-known usernames - this isn't true, only the legitimate account owners are able to reserve well-known public-figure names.
We enabled reservations before usernames launch later this year because we think people will feel strongly about what username they want on WhatsApp. Weβre taking our time and listening to feedback so that when it rolls out later this year we get it right.
@ruffydfire Answering for question with commonsense without having to read ur epistle...
You don't expect those who are still holding old stock bought at $90+ to sell at prewar price of $72ish. Price only dropped like a week ago. You should find out if new stock has been imported at $$74
Day 2. What exactly is the purpose of government if it doesnβt understand that every extra day weakens its negotiating position? Or is there an attempt for us to forget this entirely?
You have already failed the people by not protecting them. At least, make haste to find a solution and reflect against repeated occurrences.
