Start WhatsApp from URL HREF with custom text/content

Question

As you know using the whatsapp url scheme on iphone i can create the following link:

href=\"whatsapp://send?text=blahblah\"

this is possibl

Answer 1

I think the answer you where looking for is this:

Whatsapp me please

This code works both in Android and iOS thanks to the parameters "phone" and "abid" respectively.

Update: If the user uses the web app, that link will do nothing. What I do is to provide that link for mobile and this other one for desktop users:

Whatsapp me please

You can do it through a CSS @mediaquery or just making the domain dynamic.

The reason why I use two different methods instead of the API "wa.me/?text=menssage", is to avoid the user a hard time trying to open whatsapp aswering questions he probably don't cares about.

Sorry for the late response, hope it helps somebody anyway.
