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? ---

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? ---

To do this, use the Share component [https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/social/share](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/social/share) And I already broke my head thinking about what does not work in the Web Viewer. 🕶 [Next page](https://community.thunkable.com/t/in-webview-share-button-not-working-what-i-do/31219.md?page=2)
