How to create a WhatsApp link in 3 steps
- 01
Add your number
Choose your country and type the WhatsApp number you want messages to reach.
- 02
Write the first message
Optional, but worth it: a pre-filled message means people send instead of staring at an empty chat.
- 03
Copy and paste it anywhere
Bio, ad, email, QR code on a flyer. Anyone who taps it lands in a chat with you.
Why use a WhatsApp link
No saved contact needed
People message you in one tap, without adding your number to their phone first. That removes the step where most enquiries are lost.
Works in every ad and bio
One link works in Instagram, TikTok, Facebook ads, email and print. A QR code covers everything offline.
Starts the conversation for you
A pre-filled message tells you what the person wants before you have said a word, so you can answer in one reply.
Frequently asked questions about WhatsApp links
Everything about wa.me links, country codes, QR codes and pre-filled messages.
Pick your country, type your WhatsApp number, and optionally write the message you want people to send you. Your link appears instantly in the format https://wa.me/<number>. There is nothing to install and no account to create.
A WhatsApp link, also called a click to chat link or a WhatsApp DM link, opens a one to one chat with you as soon as someone taps it. They never have to save your number first, which is the step where most enquiries get abandoned.
wa.me is WhatsApp's own official short domain for click to chat links. A wa.me link looks like https://wa.me/447700900123 and works on Android, iPhone, WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop.
Copy the generated link, open Instagram, tap Edit profile, and paste it into the Links or Website field. On a business profile you can also add a WhatsApp action button, but the link works on any account type.
Yes. A WhatsApp link only resolves with the full international number, country code included and no plus sign, spaces or dashes. Selecting your country above adds the right code for you, so a UK number 07700 900123 becomes 447700900123.
Yes, and it is worth doing. Generate one link per place you share it, each with its own pre-filled message. When the messages arrive you can tell which bio, ad or flyer sent them without any tracking setup.
It becomes a share link instead. WhatsApp opens the contact picker with your message already written, and the person chooses who to send it to. That is useful for referrals and viral campaigns rather than for reaching you.
You can put it through any URL shortener, but be aware you lose the wa.me name that makes people trust the link, and some shorteners get blocked in WhatsApp. A QR code is usually the better answer for print.
WhatsApp opens on a chat with your number, with your pre-filled message typed but not sent. The person can edit it before sending. If they do not have WhatsApp installed, they land on the WhatsApp web page instead.
