<a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=urlencodedtext"></a>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

<a href="whatsapp://send?text=<<HERE GOES THE URL ENCODED TEXT YOU WANT TO SHARE>>" >Share via Whatsapp</a>

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

<a href="https://wa.me/?text=urlencodedtext">Share this</a>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

As you seen in the example if you want to add line breaks to your massage or write massage as you send on WhatsApp. You have to use urlencodedtext.
