What is WhatsApp Link Generator?

WhatsApp Link Generator or link maker is an online tool (web app) that allows you to create WhatsApp links with QR codes for your social media profiles such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter (X) etc.

By default, if you share your WhatsApp number on your social media profiles, users have to save your WhatsApp number on their phone to start a conversation with you. But, using this tool, you can create a direct link that allows users to start a conversation without saving the phone number.

Moreover, you can add a custom welcome message that is automatically added to the chat thread when the user clicks on the link. So, a pre-filled message makes it easier to start a conversation.

When anyone clicks on the generated link, the WhatsApp app or WhatsApp web automatically opens with the chat thread. Users are not required to save the number to start the conversation.
