Is it possible to send message using the WhatsApp server to a WhatsApp group, inside my own application and without opening the WhatsApp app?

Also please help me regarding the history of WhatsApp contact chat.

in short NO

Reason: because (at least to my knowledge) Whatsapp does not allows the same. i.e. no external events or APIs to implement the same. So you have to at least use the intents and let the user handle the rest.

Also please help me regarding the history of WhatsApp contact chat.

This also can't be done (using ethical approach) because all the chat history is stored in a private database which is not revealed to the external apps by the Whatsapp application and also potentially violates the users privacy.

  • You can always look at the answers listed at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17135496/whatsapp-api-java-python. – ramizmoh Jul 07 '14 at 09:54
  • @ramizmoh is it an official API by whatsapp? – SMR Jul 07 '14 at 09:56
  • @SMR No, it is not but can be used for educational purposes. – ramizmoh Jul 07 '14 at 09:57

    yes it can be used but its not reliable because whatapp can update anytime and then this may longer work. but thanks for sharing it anyways. :) – SMR Jul 07 '14 at 09:58

    I agree, though there is a team of developers constantly keeping it up to date. :) – ramizmoh Jul 07 '14 at 10:01
  • Yowsup is the core engine behind Whatsapp . that can be used to almost do anything with whatsapp – Abid Jul 07 '14 at 11:24
  • @Abid ***"Yowsup is the core engine behind Whatsapp"*** really.. well I don't think so. It is created and maintained by its (sort of) community. If it was.. then whatsapp.com would have provided links in the developers section. but infact **there is no developers section in the site**. Please verify your statement before posting :) – SMR Jul 07 '14 at 11:45
  • @SMR Sorry for wrong wording. basically it is the core engine behind WhazzApp. – Abid Aug 18 '14 at 15:14
