Your number, as a link.
Turn your phone number into a clickable link that opens WhatsApp with a message already typed. Perfect for contact buttons, Instagram bios, email signatures and printed QRs. No need to save the contact first — clients open the chat directly with your number.
Number and message
Include the country code. e.g. +54 9 11 5555-5555 — spaces and + are stripped automatically.
The chat opens with this text already typed. Line breaks and emojis allowed.

FAQ
Does it work if they don't have my contact saved?
Yes. wa.me/<number> opens the chat without needing the contact saved first. It's the method WhatsApp officially recommends.
What if they don't use WhatsApp?
They see a WhatsApp message saying that number doesn't use the service. You don't get notified.
Is there a message length limit?
WhatsApp allows up to 65,536 characters in the URL, but for browser compatibility stay under ~2,000 — that's already a lot.
Why wa.me and not api.whatsapp.com?
wa.me is WhatsApp's official short domain, redirects to the same target, and is much cleaner — especially for QRs (fewer characters = simpler code).
