Launch WhatsApp web from URL
Super User Asked on November 22, 2021
I mean to put together an URL that leads me to a composing message in a WhatsApp web tab in Chrome.
The official click-to-chat method is with
https://wa.me/ .
That produces the following pop up (number removed)
with the URL https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=targetnumber&text=&source=&data=&app_absent=
Clicking on Open URL:whatsapp only closes the popup.
Clicking on CONTINUE TO CHAT brings the popup again.
I mean to use Web Whatsapp, not the desktop application.
I tried two alternatives that might work
whatsapp://send?phone=<number>
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=<number>
Both produce the same result as above.
How can I solve this?
One Answer
if you are testing from browser you just replace api.whatsapp.com with web.whatsapp.com and it'll redirect you to the final send/compose window (which actually shows if you click cancel twice saying the app is not installed on the api.whatsapp.com link) whatsapp page adds a link
