A WhatsApp link that starts the chat for them.
Type your number and pick a first message. You get a link that opens a chat with you, ready to send, which you can put in a bio, a status, a Google profile or an email. It is made in your browser, so nothing you type reaches a server.
A click-to-chat WhatsApp link with a first message already typed.
Your number and message stay on this page. We never see them.
The tool
How a WhatsApp link works
A WhatsApp click-to-chat link is wa.me, then the number with its country code and no plus sign or spaces, then an optional ?text= and the message. Anyone who taps it opens a chat with you, with the message ready to send.
| Part | Example | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Address | https://wa.me/ | Opens WhatsApp on a phone, or WhatsApp Web on a computer. |
| Number | 91 then your 10 digit number | Country code first (91 for India), then the number, digits only. |
| Message | ?text=Hi%20there | The first message, with spaces written as %20. The tool does this for you. |
Where to use it
Your Instagram bio, Google Business Profile, email signature, website button and status. Put it where a person is already ready to talk.
Test it
Open the link on your own phone before you share it, and send the message to yourself to see what a customer sees.
Before you share it.
Use a number you answer
The link opens a chat with whoever has that number. Use the one you check during the day, and keep the same number on your Google profile and website.
Keep the first message short
A line that names what they want, such as a price or a visit, gets a faster and clearer reply than a blank chat. People can still edit it before they send.
Say what the link does
Put a few words before it, such as Chat with us on WhatsApp. A bare link in a bio does not tell anyone what will happen when they tap it.
Test it on your phone
Open the link yourself and send the message to a friend or a second number. Check the number and the words before you share it widely.

How do I make a WhatsApp link?
Type your mobile number with the country code and an optional first message. The tool gives you a link that starts with https://wa.me/. Anyone who taps it opens a chat with you.
How do I put a WhatsApp link in my Instagram bio?
Copy the link from this page, open your Instagram profile, choose Edit profile, and paste it into the Links field. Many people add a short line of text before it so visitors know what it does.
Is a wa.me link free?
Yes. A wa.me link is a standard WhatsApp feature. It is free to make and use, and the tool works on your device without sending your number anywhere.
Can I add a ready message to a WhatsApp link?
Yes. The text after ?text= is the first message. The person can edit it before sending. Keep it short and clear, such as asking for a price or booking a visit.
How do I write the number in a WhatsApp link?
Use the country code first, then the number, with digits only: no plus sign, spaces or dashes. For India, 91 followed by the 10 digit mobile number. This tool adds 91 if you type 10 digits.
Does a WhatsApp link work on a computer?
Yes. On a computer it opens WhatsApp Web or the desktop app. If WhatsApp is not installed on a phone, the link opens a page that asks the person to install it.
Can I track clicks on a WhatsApp link?
A wa.me link does not carry website tags. To see which place sends visits to a web page, tag that web link instead. For chats, ask people how they found you, or use a different first message in each place.
