Use    https   wa me YOURNUMBER  where YOURNUMBER is without the two leading 00   For instance for  37061204312 you write   https   wa me 37061204312  This link seems to work on mobiles and on desktop computers   To prefill the message with text you can use   https   wa me YOURNUMBER  text urlencodedtext  More in the Whatsapp FAQ  https   faq whatsapp com en android 26000030

I just posted an answer on a thread similiar to this here https   stackoverflow com a 43357241 3958617  The approach with    lt a href  whatsapp   send abid username amp text Hello 2C 20World   gt whatsapp lt  a gt    and with   lt a href  intent   send 0123456789 Intent scheme smsto package com whatsapp action android intent action SENDTO end  gt whatsapp lt  a gt    Only works if the person who clicked on your link have your number on their contact list   Since not everybody will have it  the other solution is to use Whatsapp API like this    lt a href  https   api whatsapp com send phone 15551234567  gt Send Message lt  a gt     More details on this API here  https   www whatsapp com faq en general 26000030 And observations on how to use it here  https   stackoverflow com a 43357241 3958617

Check this link out  Launching Your iPhone App Via Custom URL Scheme  and more on the whats up url scheme document  I did a quick mock up and tried it on my iphone with a link like this from a webpage and it opened the app on my iphone    lt a href  whatsapp   send text Hello 2C 20World   gt whatsapp lt  a gt    I could not try to send a message as I don t have a current Whatsapp account sorry   Add user name using abid parameter   let s say your whatsapp username was username then it would be    lt a href  whatsapp   send abid username amp text Hello 2C 20World   gt whatsapp lt  a gt    once again sorry I can t test this   Also I have no idea what would happen if the username is the actual user of the current mobile device   eg  You try to whatsapp yourself

Here is the solution to your problem  You just need to use this format    lt a href  https   api whatsapp com send phone whatsappphonenumber amp text urlencodedtext  gt  lt  a gt    In the place of  urlencodedtext  you need to keep the content in Url-encode format    UPDATE-- Use this from now Nov-2018    lt a href  https   wa me whatsappphonenumber  text urlencodedtext  gt  lt  a gt         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    For more information  see https   www whatsapp com faq en general 26000030
