## Frequently asked questions

### 

A wa.me web address that ends in your phone number in international form. Opening it starts a chat with that number in WhatsApp, so a customer never has to save your number first.

### 

In international form, starting with the country code, such as +65 9123 4567 or +44 7700 900123. A plus, spaces, dashes and brackets are fine, and a 0 written after the country code is dropped. The link itself carries only the digits, which the generator works out for you.

### 

No. It appears in the customer's message box, where they can change it before they tap send. Nothing is sent until they do.

### 

Yes. On a computer the link opens WhatsApp Desktop if it is installed and WhatsApp Web if it is not. On a phone it opens the WhatsApp app.

### 

Yes. A wa.me link works with any number registered on WhatsApp, whether it runs on WhatsApp, the WhatsApp Business app or the WhatsApp Business Platform. If the number is not on WhatsApp, WhatsApp tells the customer so instead of opening a chat.

### 

No. The link is the number and the message written into an address, so it keeps working for as long as the number is on WhatsApp.

###
