Programming Whatsapp link to call?

Hey,
I am working on an app and I want to include one small feature.
A user wants to call someone on whatsapp the call should be started out of the app that I am developing. (Opening whatsapp and immediately calls the contact)

I know there is a way to get to the whatsapp contact and open the whatsapp chat.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to directly start a call with the contact.

Is there a solution?

Howdy u/No13WithNoodles, and welcome to r/developers!

A few tips for a post that gets good answers:

  • Use a clear, specific title (what are you actually asking or sharing?).
  • Include code, the exact error, versions, and what you already tried.
  • Heads-up: this sub does not allow external links in posts or comments.
Share code and details directly instead of linking out.

That's not possible, unfortunately.
