In iOS 9, you need add this lines on projects .plist file:

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
 <array>
  <string>whatsapp</string>
 </array>

Check after adding this in .plist.

I solved issued using this code :

- (id)activityViewControllerPlaceholderItem:(UIActivityViewController *)activityViewController
{
    return @"";
}

- (id)activityViewController:(UIActivityViewController )activityViewController itemsForActivityType:(NSString )activityType
{

    if ([activityType isEqualToString:@"net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.ShareExtension"]) {

        NSString *strShare = @“Test string”;

        NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"whatsapp://send?text=%@",strShare];
        NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[string stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: url];

        return @"";

    }
    else
    {
        return  sharingItems;
    }
}

You can add image url, because sharing image is not possible. Add image url like this

NSArray *arrData = @[@"Post Title", @"imageURL"];
UIActivityViewController *activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:arrData applicationActivities:nil];
NSArray *excludeActivities = @[UIActivityTypeAirDrop,
                               UIActivityTypePrint,
                               UIActivityTypeAssignToContact,
                               UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll,
                               UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList];
activityVC.excludedActivityTypes = excludeActivities;

[self presentViewController:activityVC animated:YES completion:nil];
