Does anyone know the easiest way to add a WhatsApp widget to a squarespace site? I have done this with facebook messenger easy enough by copying code from the facebook page, but is it so simple with WhatsApp? I have seen tutorials asking you to sign up for another account on other websites, such as Elfsite and to.chat.be, before installing the widget. Ideally I would like to do it directly from whatsapp and not have to create yet another account.
Hi Tuanphan, another problem I'm having is that after saving the code, and clicking on the widget it opens whatsapp in a new page, so actually seems like what you mentioned is solution number 2, not 1. Has anyone else tried this? And how did it work out?
Hi @tuanphan, I followed your instructions and everything works, except the Whatsapp image doesn't want to show properly. I'm seeing either the white question mark in a blue square (on mobile) or the other icon (on desktop) instead of the image that you provided. I did upload that Whatsapp image to my Squarespace website though.
Hi @tuanphan , I would like to create an image in my site, and replace it with a custom whatsapp image with text etc and make it clickable. How do I make it so when customer clicks this button, it will pop out a new tab to whatsapp, quite similar to version 1 that you suggest, just that it is for a specific image, therefore would require a link for the image. Thank you for your guidance!
Would it be also possible to had a Line Application icon above the Whatsapp one the footer right corner ? Surely it is better without clustering the screen, but most of the peoples where I am are using both Whatsapp and Line.
I'm wondering if anyone has been able to integrate a WhatsApp chatbot with HubSpot (either through existing third party integrations or custom ones), or at least managed to integrate WhatsApp in a way that allows you to send automated messages via HubSpot workflows?
Hello @dhejl!
Our native integration doen't support bots yet. However, you can send approved templates via wokrflow to your contacts. Please note that your contacts must to have a valid whatsapp number on the "Whatsapp Phone Number" default property and an explicit consent in order to receive whatsapp messages via workflows.
Best,

FOUND THE FIX! If you haven't been able to fix it, I figured it out (accidentally). It has fixed mine and two coworkers' frozen Whatsapp after IOS update. Our Whatsapp wouldn't let us scroll or anything. It was like the screen was frozen. It would shut off also.
Contact WhatsApp Support: If the issue still persists, you can contact WhatsApp Support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or investigate if there is a known issue with WhatsApp on your iPhone model.
Well it seems that being patient was the answer. WhatsApp did not acknowledge the bug on their side nor provide any useful support. See the top answer here to see what they suggested which either didn't work or meant losing data. In the end they published an update to WhatsApp that addressed the issue. So just update your WhatsApp assuming they have rolled it out to your area, and you should be fine.
Have tried all methods mentioned in the internet (except factory reset phone), and didn't work. Tried to delete whatsapp and it worked fine until I restored my backup, then it started crashing again. Looks like my case was something to do with the data / msg / files that crashed WhatsApp.
Now, for details, my new number did not have any chat backup to screw up from. So, it kind of got disconnected from iCloud. I pray hard enough every day that it continues to work flawlessly as it does finally, because I know how much pain it is. I had done multiple loops of going through WA support (which was useless), writing to Apple, following people of forum, basically been in a mess, regretting the upgrade.
As you mention the image coming fine in other social media except for WhatsApp, if you kept the file size of the image below 300 kb, it would show as a thumbnail on whatsapp. Maybe that will work for you.
Thanks for updating in! Whatapps may not be able to load the cached image. Since you are using Jetpack plugin, please turn OFF the site accelerator so that the image coming from your site is loaded and not the cache version from the CDN.
It could be a Whatsapp issue and more related to cache, I recommend contacting them. Even Facebook has this tool that helps clearing the sharing data cache. I assume they have that too. Please check this too -and-whatsapp-meta-tag-cache-issue.
i work as a security specialist engineer at a moderate
enterprise.
recently my superiors have asked me to block whatsapp file transfer only(meaning chat would still work).
however i've tried anything using our Fw's but to no avail.
from what i have read on some forums and various sources, i need to url block
mmi.whatsapp
mms and mmv..
i tried doing that yet it didn't seem to help.
i can still upload/download files from both
whatsapp web and the desktop application.
On the firewall, the application description says,
WhatsApp has integrated the TextSecure encryption protocol, which enforces certificate pinning to its most recent update. Due to this we can longer decrypt this application, and it will be added to the SSL exclude list. Policies enforcing "whatsapp-base" will continue to function normally, but policies using "whatsapp-file-transfer" can no longer be enforced.
Hi Thomas,
SNI is the Server Name Identification field present in the Client Hello of SSL/TLS Handshake. It allows the client to indicate the hostname which it is trying to connect. For more information , you can refer to this link.
You will have to take network trace or packet capture to know this information.
We can find multiple videos on youtube on how to find the SNI from a packet capture. You can check this video.
There is a lot of work associated with blocking/allowing URLs, not only for this but for a wide variety of scenarios. It can be tricky sometimes.
My lab experience using the URL Filtering profiles allowed me to block Whatsapp upload of images & videos while allowing the messages to be sent. I am sharing it if it can help.
Also there is an application debug that have described in the discussion below, so if you want to play again outside working hours you can try "Other use case that I know is to see the application shift if there is an issue how the Palo Alto changes the matched application by enabling the "appid" debug.

WhatsApp (officially WhatsApp Messenger) is an instant messaging (IM) and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service owned by technology conglomerate Meta.[14] It allows users to send text, voice messages and video messages,[15] make voice and video calls, and share images, documents, user locations, and other content.[16][17] WhatsApp's client application runs on mobile devices, and can be accessed from computers.[18] The service requires a cellular mobile telephone number to sign up.[19] In January 2018, WhatsApp released a standalone business app called WhatsApp Business which can communicate with the standard WhatsApp client.[20][21]
The service was created by WhatsApp Inc. of Mountain View, California, which was acquired by Facebook in February 2014 for approximately US$19.3 billion.[22][23] It became the world's most popular messaging application by 2015,[24][25] and had more than 2 billion users worldwide by February 2020,[26] confirmed four years later by new 200M registrations per month.[27] By 2016, it had become the primary means of Internet communication in regions including Latin America, the Indian subcontinent, and large parts of Europe and Africa.[24]
WhatsApp was founded in February 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum, former employees of Yahoo! A month earlier, after Koum purchased an iPhone, he and Acton decided to create an app for the App Store. The idea started off as an app that would display statuses in a phone's Contacts menu, showing if a person was at work or on a call.[63]
Their discussions often took place at the home of Koum's Russian friend Alex Fishman in West San Jose. They realized that to take the idea further, they would need an iPhone developer. Fishman visited RentACoder.com, found Russian developer Igor Solomennikov, and introduced him to Koum.[63]
Koum named the app WhatsApp to sound like "what's up". On February 24, 2009, he incorporated[64] WhatsApp Inc. in California. However, when early versions of WhatsApp kept crashing, Koum considered giving up and looking for a new job. Acton encouraged him to wait for a "few more months".[63]
