Question 1

What is a WhatsApp link?

Accepted Answer

A WhatsApp link (also called wa.me link or click-to-chat link) is a special URL that opens a chat with a specific phone number on WhatsApp. The format is https://wa.me/<phone_number> and you can optionally include a pre-filled message with the ?text= parameter.

Question 2

Does the link work internationally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WhatsApp links work worldwide. The phone number should be in international format without the leading + or 00 — for example, for a US number +1 555 123 4567 you would use 15551234567.

Question 3

Can I pre-fill the message?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the message field below the phone number. When the user clicks your link, the message will be pre-filled in their WhatsApp composer. They can then edit it before sending — perfect for support forms, sales inquiries and contact pages.

Question 4

Where can I share the link?

Accepted Answer

You can use WhatsApp links anywhere: websites, email signatures, social media bios (Instagram, TikTok, X), business cards, QR codes and even printed flyers. Just copy the URL and use it as a regular link.
