What is a WhatsApp link?
A WhatsApp link (wa.me link) is a short web address that opens a chat with a specific number. One tap on phone or desktop and WhatsApp opens with that contact ready.
Adding a message makes it a click-to-chat link. The chat box comes pre-filled, so the person only taps send. Great for an Instagram bio, story sticker or DM reply.
- wa.me/<number> opens a chat with that number.
- ?text=... drops a ready message into the chat box.
- The number carries the country code, with no + or spaces.
- Works on mobile and WhatsApp Web the same way.

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
Does the person need my number saved to open the chat?
No. A WhatsApp link opens the chat by number, so the contact doesn't have to be saved first. One tap and the conversation is open.
How should I enter the phone number?
Include the country code. The field formats the number as you type, and the link keeps the digits in the international format WhatsApp expects.
Is the pre-filled message required?
No. Leave it empty and the link just opens the chat. Add a message and the chat box comes filled, ready for the person to send.
Does a WhatsApp link cost anything?
No. Building the link is free, and both wa.me links and QR codes work with a personal or Business WhatsApp account.
Where can I use the link?
Anywhere a link fits: Instagram bio, story sticker, email signature, website button, flyer QR. The pre-filled message travels with it every time.
How do I hand out the link from Instagram automatically?
