In my iOS app , I would like to insert a text and write a “text” inside, then I would like a button to open whatsapp, choose the contact with which to chat reporting the “text” written before in my text.  
Or is it possible to open an external application such as a whatsapp in a screen?

You can open the application.

![openlink](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/3/03915316f1cade1d42807e493673ef40a36ef5ee.png)

“choose the contact with which to chat reporting the “text” written before in my text”. Try using the links below.

```
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=Number
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Message 
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=Number&text=Message

```

More details can be found in WhatsApp API

I would like the message to be the same as the text written on the “TextInput”. How can I do this?

Add the “share” component to your project, it works really well for things like that.
