Everything works [mostly] fine, except when I need to click on a whatsapp link in a web site, that is supposed to open a conversation with a certain new cell phone number. Here's an example on BOSE's site when you click in the button "message us".

You should be able to avoid the xdg popup by blocking JavaScript for api.whatsapp.com through site permissions. Since the webpage has a "continue to chat" link that redirects to web.whatsapp.com, assuming I understood the problem correctly, that link is the solution.

Then there is javascript on the big green button that triggers the XDG-open stuff again if you click it. You can disable the javascript as other answers suggest, but I prefer to right-click on the button and copy the link or "open in new tab".

I have a personal and a business WA account. I use WhatsApp Desktop app for personal use. When I click on api.whatsapp.com links, I mean to open the web app where I can send a message from my business account. The problem is that whenever I click on these links, it shows an alert to open the desktop app and when I cancel the dialog, it does not take me to WhatsApp web and I am stuck on the page.I have checked for defaults and protocols but WhatsApp doesn't appear there, nor are there any settings in the WhatsApp desktop app to remove such functionality.

You only need to set the Browser that you are using as the default to handle the Whatsapp action. For example:
For Vivaldi
xdg-mime default vivaldi-stable.desktop 'x-scheme-handler/whatsapp'
Or for Chrome
xdg-mime default google-chrome.desktop 'x-scheme-handler/whatsapp'

I also believe that determining a default browser would not be the definitive solution, as I use many browsers every day. Ideally, the chat links would open in a new tab of the same browser I'm using, whatever it is.

@baltar , to be brutally honest... That is on you.
You are engaging in an unusual behavior by using multiple different browsers every day.
Your application defaults are a steady thing across your Operating System. Your default file manager, your default text editor... If you cannot settle on a default application, then you cannot use a default application.

I understand your point. I'm new to Linux and I bring this experience from Windows that I used previously.
There I didn't have any application for WhatsApp, whatever browser I was in, when accessing the conversation chats through the links, the system automatically identified that there was no specific application for this function and the browser gave me the option to continue via the web. whatsapp.com in a new tab.

A minha inteno no seria alterar o navegador padro a todo tempo, mas de alguma forma fazer com que todos os navegadores que uso no busquem um aplicativo para abrir os links do whatsapp, que eles abram por eles mesmo pelo web.whatsapp.com

WhatsApp is a mobile messaging app that is completely free to use. You can send messages, make voice and video calls, share images, videos, and documents. WhatsApp requires an internet connection and it is available for iOS, Android and Windows.

When you create an account on WhatsApp, you need to use your phone number. After that, you can start communicating with those people in your contact list who also use WhatsApp. The app is also designed to automatically sync your phone's contact list which means you can see your friends instantly. WhatsApp uses end-to-end in chats which means that only you and the person you're chatting with can see your conversation and even WhatsApp itself can't read it.

To use WhatsApp Web on your computer, visit web.whatsapp.com and scan the QR code using your smartphone's camera. Once scanned, you'll be logged in and can send messages, see status updates, and manage chats as you do on your phone. Make sure your phone stays connected to the internet, if it loses connection, WhatsApp Web won't work until your phone reconnects.

To use web whatsapp, simply open WhatsApp and go to settings and click on "WhatsApp web". Open web.whatsapp.com on your PC/Laptop and scan the QR code on your computer from your mobile device. Once the code is scanned you can use WhatsApp using web browser. If you're still confused, follow the simple steps mentioned below.

You can log in to WhatsApp for web by scanning the QR code from your mobile phone on the official website of WhatsApp web. It will instantly sign you in once the QR code is successfully scanned. Below are the separate guides for all devices.

Open WhatsApp on your phone and go to Settings then click on Web WhatsApp, open any web browser on your PC/Laptop and visit web.whatsapp.com, scan the QR code and that's it, you're now logged in to WhatsApp on your web browser.

Make sure that your phone camera is fully functional before trying to log in to WhatsApp on a web browser. You can also connect an external camera device to your phone if your phone's camera is not working.

The ability to access web.whatsapp.com varies according to the Welsh Government issued device being used, due to differences in the coverage of web filtering between laptops and mobile devices such as iPhones. Although the site can be accessed from Welsh Government mobile devices, it does not allow sending or receiving messages unless it is paired with an installed and registered copy of WhatsApp on a mobile device. WhatsApp is not installed on Welsh Government issued mobile devices and staff are not able to download and install apps of their own choosing. Logs of access to this website are no longer held for the period 2020-21.

Changes to the WhatsApp deletion policy were not in scope of the Welsh Government Information Management and Governance policy as WhatsApp is not installed on Welsh Government issued devices. The Information Management and Governance policy reflects Welsh Government obligations under the Public Records Act 1958 and the Code of Practice for Records Management (FOIA s46). Minor amendments have been made to take into account advances in technology e.g., Microsoft Teams and changes in security policy.
