Hey Thunkers, I would like to add the possibility for the users of my app to be able to send me a Whatsapp-message directly from the app, by clicking a button. This already works for sending an email, a text message or making a phone call. I tried via the open link-block: [https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=12345678](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=12345678) (my number) When testing, WhatsApp opens but I get an alert stating that “the link could not be opened.Verify and re-try”. Am I missing anything? Thanks! ---

Hey hello, I’ve all just tried it works perfectly for me. No error message with your [Share on WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=12345678&text=lol) link. Maybe try to re-install whatsapp ? Tested on Android ![Screenshot_20201128_112914](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/7/c71ee7176bb3e444273e1a2f49b8b4fdf44204d6.jpeg) ---

thanks for your quick reply - you tested on Android, right? Could it be related to iPhone?.. I’ll check again - thanks! ---

hmmm, ok - thanks! I’ll investigate further… I’m on an iPhone 8+ and I keep having the same error message. WhatsApp opens, but for whatever reason, it doesn’t accept the phone number. Thanks for your help with this ---

I found the error: I used the wrong international number format, in my case I should use “+32” instead of “0032”… Now it works 😉 Many thanks to all!! ---
