Frequently asked questions
How do I create a WhatsApp link?
Type your number with the country selected, for example Malaysia and 012-345 6789, and the tool builds https://wa.me/60123456789. WhatsApp's own rule is a full international number with digits only: no plus sign, spaces, dashes, brackets or leading zeros. Anyone who taps the link opens a chat with you without saving your number first.
How do I add a pre-filled message?
Type the message in the box. It is URL-encoded and added after ?text=, so spaces become %20 and line breaks %0A, for example https://wa.me/60123456789?text=Hi%2C%20is%20this%20available%3F. The message appears in the chat box and the person can edit it before pressing send.
How do I write a Malaysian number for WhatsApp?
Drop the first 0 and put 60 in front: 012-345 6789 becomes 60123456789 and 011-2345 6789 becomes 601123456789. Do not keep both, as in +60 012…; the tool removes that extra 0 for you. Landlines such as 03 numbers only work if that line has WhatsApp Business.
Can I make a WhatsApp link without a phone number?
Yes. Leave the number empty and the link becomes https://wa.me/?text= followed by your message. Tapping it opens WhatsApp with the message ready and lets the person choose who to send it to, which is useful for share buttons.
How do I add a WhatsApp button to my website or Blogger?
Copy the button code and paste it into an HTML widget (Blogger: Layout, Add a Gadget, HTML/JavaScript) or a WordPress Custom HTML block. The floating version stays in the bottom-right corner on every page. The code is plain HTML and CSS, with no script, so it does not slow the page down.
Can I make bold or italic text in the message?
Yes, with WhatsApp's own symbols: *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~, ```monospace``` and `inline code`; start a line with "- " for a list or "> " for a quote. Select text and use the buttons, and the preview shows how it will look in the chat.
Is the QR code free and does it expire?
Yes, it is free and never expires: the QR code simply contains your wa.me link, with no redirect through another service. Download it as PNG for print and posters or SVG for any size. Scan it with a phone camera to test it before printing. If your number changes, make a new code.
