I have very little reputation points so I cannod add a comment in this similar question.
But I need an explanation as the code is working in a different way as expected.
I would like to have a link on my website where the user can click on the whatsapp link and start the conversation with the contact.
The code I add is this:
href="intent://send/0123456789#Intent;scheme=smsto;package=com.whatsapp;action=android.intent.action.SENDTO;end
where 0123456789 were substituted with a real number subscribed to whatsapp. But it seems working only with my contact. If I have a new number it will not work and will tell me that the contact number is not connected to whatsapp (even if it is).
- How can I solve this problem?
- Once this first problem is solved, I'd like to add some preformatted text to the message like: message sent from website xyz. What code should I add?
- This like of code is working for Android, I need it also for iPhone, what should I use?
This other code is working on Android and on iPhone, but it doesn't allow me to add a custom contact number:
<a href="whatsapp://send?abid=username&text=Hello%2C%20World!">whatsapp</a>
abid can be only an ID from a contact already saved in you phone, otherwise it will open the contact selection page in whatsapp
Please, don't share links without explanation of the content as I'm not a developer, I'm just trying to do my best following instructions of people with more knowledge.
Thank you.
