Frequently asked questions
How does a WhatsApp QR code work?
It encodes a standard "wa.me" link with your phone number (and optionally a pre-filled message). Scanning it opens WhatsApp with a chat to that number ready to go.
Do I need to include the country code?
Yes — always include your country code with a leading + (e.g. +1 555 123 4567). We never guess a country code, since an assumed one would produce a broken link.
Can I pre-fill a message?
Yes — anything typed in the optional message field will appear pre-filled in the chat when scanned.
Is this connected to WhatsApp's official API?
No. This tool only builds a standard public wa.me link — the same kind WhatsApp itself generates for "click to chat" buttons. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by WhatsApp or Meta.
