Reset to default 4From Whatsapp documentation:
WhatsApp provides a custom URL scheme to interact with WhatsApp:
If you have a website and want to open a WhatsApp chat with a pre-filled message, you can use our custom URL scheme to do so. Opening whatsapp://send?text= followed by the text to send, will open WhatsApp, allow the user to choose a contact, and pre-fill the input field with the specified text.
So, this should work:
<a href="whatsapp://send?text=YoYoYo" class="bla">Whatsapp link</a>
And if i'm lucky, also this! (when clicked from mobile device...)
