The beta rollout for Phone Number Privacy will occur in waves, so users should expect a delay in availability on their devices after installation. While the official launch date remains undisclosed, the presence of the feature in the beta phase suggests that its release is imminent.

Specific details on which groups will receive this enhancement remain undisclosed, but users anticipate the potential for more widespread anonymity across smaller WhatsApp groups as well.
