I am not sure what you would need a laptop username for on an iOS device. Perhaps you mean the AppleID? I am not sure how to create one since I have been using the same one for twenty years on various iOS devices as I have upgraded them. But there is an item in the Settings app near the top for the AppleID settings.
The original poster is asking how you create a username on Whatsapp, using VoiceOver with the iOS whatsApp application. Laptops were never mentioned in the original post.
I checked on this because I was having trouble finding it too. It turns out this feature is still in beta.
The way it's supposed to work is pretty straightforward: you'll select a username and try to get one that hasn't been claimed yet. This contrasts with services like Signal, which let you choose a name but then tack on a unique numerical identifier at the end.
