whatsapp url scheme ios dev

Question

In the new version whatsapp implemented url scheme like

NSURL *whatsAppURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"Whatsapp://"];

if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:whatsAppURL]) {

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:whatsAppURL];

}

anyone knows if there is any action related to that? like create a new message?

Answer 1

With the new iPhone v2.10.1 release WhatsApp now publicly supports its own url scheme. Eg to open a new chat composer with the text "Hello World" you have to do this:

NSURL *whatsappURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"whatsapp://send?text=Hello%20World!"];
 if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL: whatsappURL]) {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: whatsappURL];
 }

Answer 2

The whatsapp:// URL scheme has been registered by WhatsApp, according to this answer , and you may be able to launch the WhatsApp application.

Unfortunately, at date, there's no documentation available so it's not known whether there are useful actions associated with it.
