WhatsApp Click to Chat

Simply enter the recipient's phone number in international format and add a custom message. Share the generated link, and anyone who clicks on it will be able to chat with you instantly on WhatsApp!

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 and they have an active WhatsApp account, 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.

Create Your Own Link

Use https://wa.me/ where is a full phone number in international format. Omit any zeroes, brackets, or dashes when adding the phone number in international format.

Examples:

• Use: https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX
• Don't use: https://wa.me/+001-(XXX)XXXXXXX

Create Your Own Link with a Pre-Filled Message

The pre-filled message 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 urlencodedtext is the URL-encoded pre-filled message.

Example: https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?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’ll be shown a list of contacts you can send your message to.
