Using Click to Chat
WhatsApp's Click to Chat feature allows you to begin a chat with someone without having their phone number saved in your phone's address book. As long as you know this person’s phone number, you can create a link that will allow you to start a chat with them. By clicking the link, a chat with the person automatically opens. Click to Chat works on both your phone and WhatsApp Web.To create your own link, use
https:// wa.me/<number>
where the <number>
is a full phone number in international format. Omit any zeroes,
brackets or dashes when adding the phone number in international format.Use:
https:/ /wa.me/15551234567
Don't use:
https:// wa.me/+001-(555)1234567
To create your own link with a pre-filled message that will automatically appear in the text field of a chat, use
https:// wa.me/whatsappphonenumber/?text=urlencodedtext
where whatsappphonenumber
is a full phone number in international format and URL-encodedtext
is the URL-encoded pre-filled message.Example:
https:// wa.me/ 15551234567?text=I'm%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale
To create a link with just a pre-filled message, use
https:// wa.me/?text=urlencodedtext
Example:
https:// wa.me/?text=I'm%20inquiring%20about%20the%20apartment%20listing
After clicking on the link, you will be shown a list of contacts you can send your message to.
