Your choices
Choose how people find you.
Add an optional username. Manage phone and username discovery separately, and choose whether to share read receipts.
Read our Privacy PolicyUsername
An optional username
Add a username if you want one. You still use a phone number to register.
Discovery
Two separate discovery choices
Choose whether people can find you by your exact username or phone number. Contacts access does not turn on discovery.
Blocking
A boundary for direct contact
Blocking stops new direct messages, calls and discovery. Shared-group messages still follow group membership.
Sharing

Manage read receipts and activity sharing. With Assist, only the content and task you choose are sent to OpenAI.
