Answer 1

This might help you

<a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=91XXXXXXXXXX&text=urlencodedtext" target="_blank">WA</a>

phone and text parameters are not mandatory

this works in the mobile browser and pc browser, in pc this will open https://web.whatsapp.com/

I think this might be a better solution.

Answer 2

Please note that this only works with mobile devices and mobile browsers

use this to share in whatsapp, text= The text to share / link / or anything; if you are using url, dont forget to encode it

<a href="whatsapp://send?text=The text to share!" data-action="share/whatsapp/share">Share via Whatsapp</a>
