WhatsApp Deep Link Generator
Convert wa.me chat links and WhatsApp group invites into deeplinks that open directly in the WhatsApp app — no 'Continue to chat' page in between.
Businesses and creators share wa.me links everywhere, but tapped inside Instagram or Telegram they open a browser page first, and some users drop off before the chat starts. This WhatsApp deep link generator builds a link that opens the chat straight in the WhatsApp app.
How to create your deep link
- 1Copy your wa.me number link or WhatsApp group invite link.
- 2Paste it above and tap Generate Smart Link.
- 3Share the deeplink in bios, ads, QR codes, and posts.
Chat links and group invites
wa.me/<number> chat links open directly into a conversation, and chat.whatsapp.com group invites open the join screen. Both are handed to the WhatsApp app with a web fallback when it is not installed.
Fewer drop-offs for business chats
Every extra page between an ad click and a WhatsApp chat costs leads. A deeplink removes the intermediate browser step so prospects land in the conversation immediately, already signed in.
Free for unlimited links
Generate WhatsApp deeplinks for every campaign, number, and group at no cost.
Tested implementation note for WhatsApp
The shipping generator handles wa.me, chat.whatsapp.com, api.whatsapp.com URLs this way: Chat links carry a phone number, group invites carry a code, and they use different schemes. This also skips WhatsApp's 'Continue to chat' interstitial, which is where a slice of leads is normally lost.
- Test URL shape
- https://wa.me/919999999999
- Android path
- Package-less Android intent; an installed app claims its verified domain.
- iPhone path
- Known app scheme: whatsapp://send?phone= or whatsapp://chat?code=
- Failure path
- If no installed app accepts the hand-off, the original HTTPS destination remains the fallback.
