WhatsApp has made instant messaging easier especially in the business world. With WhatsApp’s click to chat feature individuals can chat with anyone just by tapping a link rather than saving the recipient’s number. All you have to ensure is that you know this person’s phone number and they have an active WhatsApp account. Just like that, you can create a link that will allow you to start a chat with them. By clicking the link, a chat with the person automatically opens. Click to chat works on both your phone and WhatsApp Web. Here is how you can create a WhatsApp Click to Chat link

Create a WhatsApp Click to Chat Link without Tool
You do not have to save a contact so you can chat with them on WhatsApp. All you have to do is follow the URL format correctly; https://wa.me/followed by the number in the international format.
Example:
Phone number: 726211274
Country Code: 256
The WhatsApp link will be: https://wa.me/256726211274
Note: The + or zero should not be included.

Create your own link with a pre-filled message
The pre-filled message will automatically appear in the text field of a chat. Use https://wa.me/whatsappphonenumber?text=urlencodedtext where WhatsApp phone number is a full phone number in the international format and URL-encoded text is the URL-encoded pre-filled message.
Example: https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=I’m%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale
To create a link with just a pre-filled message, use https://wa.me/?text=urlencodedtext
Example: https://wa.me/?text=I’m%20inquiring%20about%20the%20apartment%20listing`
After clicking on the link, you’ll be shown a list of contacts you can send your message to.
