Tool ID: whatsapp-link. Requested language: ff. Description language: en. Complete guide translation: no; untranslated sections use English.

## Overview (en)

The WhatsApp link generator creates a wa.me click-to-chat link from a phone number and an optional prefilled message. The number must be 7 to 15 digits including the country code, with no plus sign or leading zero. Your message is URL-encoded into the text parameter, so line breaks and punctuation survive when the chat opens.

## Questions (en)

### How do I format the phone number for a wa.me link?

Enter digits only in international format: the country code followed by the number, without a plus sign, spaces, dashes or a leading zero. A US number looks like 15551234567. Values outside 7 to 15 digits are rejected.

### Can I create a WhatsApp link with a pre-filled message?

Yes. Type the message in the input area and it is appended as a URL-encoded text parameter. Leave the input empty to get a plain wa.me link that opens the chat without any drafted message.

### Does the WhatsApp link send the message automatically?

No. The link only opens a chat with the message drafted; the person who taps it still has to press send. The generator just builds the URL and does not contact WhatsApp itself.
