WhatsApp link generator

Type your number and, if you like, the first message. You get a wa.me link that opens a WhatsApp chat with you, on a phone or a computer.

Start with the country code: 1 for the US and Canada, 44 for the UK, 55 for Brazil.

Everything here runs in your browser. What you type isn't sent to BetterZap or anyone else.

What a WhatsApp link does

A wa.me link is WhatsApp's own way to start a chat from anywhere: a website, an Instagram bio, an email signature or an ad. Whoever taps it lands in a chat with your number, without saving you as a contact first.

With a message, the chat opens with that text already typed. The person can change it, and nothing is sent until they tap send.

How to use it

  1. Type the number with its country code. Spaces, dashes and the + don't matter.
  2. Write a starting message if you want one, such as the product or service they're asking about.
  3. Copy the link and press Test it to see it open in WhatsApp.
  4. Use a different message for each place you share it, so you know where each chat came from.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. The link is WhatsApp's own format, and this page only writes it for you. There's nothing to sign up for, and the link never expires.

Does it work with WhatsApp Business?

Yes. It works with any WhatsApp number, personal or Business.

Why does the number need the country code?

wa.me links only take a number in international format. Without the country code the link would point to a different number, or to none.

Can I change the message later?

The message is part of the link, so a new message needs a new link. Links you already shared keep working with the old text.
