Free WhatsApp link generator

Type your number and an optional message. Get a link that opens a WhatsApp chat with you, and a QR code for it. No account needed.

Everything you type stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to us.

How to use it

  1. 01

    Enter your number with the country code

    Write it the international way, for example +44 7700 900123. Spaces and dashes are fine; a leading 0 for a local number is not.

  2. 02

    Add a message if you want one

    It appears in the chat box ready to send, so people do not have to think about what to write. They can still change it.

  3. 03

    Copy the link or download the QR code

    Paste the link into your bio, a post, an email or an ad. Print the QR code on a flyer, a menu or your packaging. Test both with your own phone first.

Where to use a WhatsApp link

A WhatsApp link turns "message me" into one tap. It works well in an Instagram or TikTok bio, in a story, on a product listing, in an email signature and on anything printed, where the QR code does the same job for a phone camera.

For a shop or a service, a pre-filled message such as "Hi, I'd like to order…" or "I want to book a table for…" tells you straight away what the person wants, and saves them writing it.

How to add a WhatsApp link to your Instagram bio

Copy the link, open your Instagram profile, choose Edit profile, then Links, and add it as an external link. Instagram shows the link under your bio, and a tap opens WhatsApp with your chat.

If you also want to share a shop, a booking page or your other socials, a single link fills up fast. A bio link page holds them all, with a WhatsApp chat button among them.

Good to know

The link uses WhatsApp's own wa.me address, so it does not expire and does not depend on us. It works on phones with WhatsApp installed and opens WhatsApp Web on a computer. A WhatsApp Business number works the same way.

WhatsApp link questions

Is the WhatsApp link generator free?

Yes. Make as many links and QR codes as you like, with no account. The link uses WhatsApp's own wa.me address, so it keeps working without us.

Why does my number need the country code?

WhatsApp finds the chat by the full international number. Write it with the country code and without the leading 0 of a local number, for example +44 7700 900123 rather than 07700 900123.

Can I add a message to the link?

Yes. The message appears in the chat box ready to send. The person can change it before sending, and nothing is sent until they press send.

Does it work with WhatsApp Business?

Yes. A WhatsApp Business number works the same way as a personal one.

How do I put the link in my Instagram bio?

Copy the link, then in Instagram go to Edit profile, then Links, and add it as an external link. To share more than one link, use a bio link page with a WhatsApp chat button.See chat buttons
