Try to open your site not in the Web Viewer but in external browser. To do this, assign a link to the site to the “open link” block. Does it work in an external browser?

I tested here the site in the chrome browser on the cell phone, and the share post buttons works normal, now, in the webview is not working, could you show me through block what I could do to solve this problem?

Try to look at the possibilities of whatsapp api to solve your problem and add the desired function to your site. Do you need to send a message to a specific number? Do you need to work with whatsapp exactly from the site or is it suitable for sending messages from the application?

I understand correctly that when you click on the “Share” button in the chrome browser a new window opens?

Try to set the Web Viewer URL to a text block reference:

https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2Fios%2F&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=like&kid_directed_site=0&app_id=113869198637480

Does this link open in your Web Viewer?

12

yes, a new window opens, if I click on share in whatsapp, it will open the whatsapp application, if I click share on the telegram, it will do the same and so with others

My “share” button for facebook works in the Web Viewer. What does not work for you when you click the share button - does not open the page in the Web Viewer to enter the account?

17

the facebook account viewer opens in the webview, but can not share a post by opening the official facebook app?

I like so: when you click on post share, open the official facebook app to share

18

Do you want to click on the link from the site to open the official facebook app, which is installed on the iPhone?

To do this, use the Share component

And I already broke my head thinking about what does not work in the Web Viewer. :sunglasses:
