How to create a WhatsApp link? All methods in 2025
The easiest way
Using the «Waply» link generator above is the fastest and most convenient way to create a WhatsApp link. The links are universal: the website automatically detects the user's device and, depending on that, redirects them either to the app or to the web version of the messenger. But what if for some reason we want to create a link manually? Let's look at the methods below.
Direct link to WhatsApp (deeplink)
Deeplinks are links that open not in the browser but directly in the application. For WhatsApp, a direct link with text looks like this: whatsapp://send?phone=1234567890&text=Hello. «Hello» is the message text that will appear in the user's input field when they follow the link, and 1234567890 is the phone number without the «+» sign or other symbols, only digits. The first seven in this case is the country calling code.
Such links can be used in HTML code, but if sent in a message, they won't work. To make the link clickable, you need to convert it using any URL shortener. Please note that this method only works for those who have the WhatsApp application installed on their device.
Link to WhatsApp Web
Such links have the following structure: https://web.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=1234567890&text=Hello. As you can see, the parameters are the same as in the method above. The only difference is the beginning. These links only work on computers, redirecting to the web version. They won't work on mobile devices.
wa.me and api.whatsapp.com links
Besides the constructor, this is another way to create a universal active WhatsApp link. The structure is as follows: https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=1234567890&text=Hello. In the shortened version: https://wa.me/1234567890?text=Hello. It's easy to understand which values to replace with your own: «1234567890» is the phone number, «Hello» is the message.
