YOGYAKARTA - WhatsApp is the most widely used instant messaging application today. You can use various features on and off in WhatsApp.

The WhatsApp application does not allow the name in the user profile field to be disabled. However, you can do that to maintain the privacy of your personal data.
To do so is quite easy. Users can open the WhatsApp application on their smartphone or computer, and select the three-dot icon in the upper right corner.
Next, select the Settings menu or WhatsApp settings and select the profile menu. Delete the WhatsApp name and copy the arrow symbol, as well as the comma in the menu.

That's the way you can do to deactivate your name on the WhatsApp profile page so that it is not seen by other people who have not saved your contacts.
