Hey guys. A doubt. I’m having this problem. can anybody help me? I have a button on the app to send a message via whatsap. But this error appears to me. ![WhatsApp Image 2021-03-01 at 15.31.37](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/0/f01dcee6a540f53a38f9581bf8ce65d8dbab326c.jpeg) ---

[https://wa.me/xxxxxx](https://wa.me/xxxxxx) where xxxxxx is the tel (with no 00 or + — so mine in Germany would be 491112222999 = and therefore [https://wa.me/491112222999](https://wa.me/491112222999) (not my tel!)) That works to just kick off the message. I would need to play about to get your message in. The start of your URL looks off for sure! ---

Hi there! How bout something like this: `https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone={Telefono}&text=He%20creado%20un%20nuevo%20pedido%20por%20monto: %20{Monto}%20con:%20{List}` Replace {Telefono} with your own phone number. etc ---

He managed to solve the problem of not being able to send a message with the Whatsapp API. It turns out that my Glide app is running on an APK that I make available on the Play Store. And in the APK the option to use an external browser was disabled. I activated this function it worked. Thank you very much!!! ---

If you have used a third party service to generate the APK, it’s best asking their support for any ideas.
