This will not work on desktop\laptop so let’s add CSS to hide it on large screens. To do so CSS @media query is used.
<style type="text/css">
@media screen and (min-width: 500px) {
a {
display: none
}
}
</style>
This example is implemented using above two steps. Notice the href attribute specifies the location and this request is sent to WhatsApp application.
Syntax:
href="whatsapp://send?text=Your message here"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”content-type”
content=”text/html;charset=utf-8″ />
<meta name=”viewport” content=
