If you want to open Whatsapp on iOS, you can use the open link block found in the control section that works like the activity starter (and I think is even easier to use). If you know the correct links on Android, then they should be the same on iOS ![18 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/5/5b176cae8a10251c49da3a1f071fdfe853dfab4a.png) ---
