Frequently asked questions

What is a WhatsApp link (wa.me link)?

It’s the link format WhatsApp supports officially: https://wa.me/ followed by the country code and number. Anyone who taps it opens a WhatsApp chat with that number, without saving it as a contact first.

How do I write a Hong Kong number?

Choose +852 and enter the 8-digit mobile number, e.g. 9123 4567. wa.me links can’t contain a plus sign, spaces or brackets; this tool removes them for you.

Do I need WhatsApp Business?

No. wa.me links work with regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business accounts.

Can I pre-fill a message?

Yes. Type it under Pre-filled message, e.g. “Hi, I’d like to ask about prices.” It’s already typed when the chat opens; the customer just presses send.

Does a WhatsApp link expire?

A wa.me link doesn’t expire as long as the number uses WhatsApp. If you shorten it with lnk.hk, the short link’s expiry follows your plan.

How do I know how many people tapped my WhatsApp link?

wa.me links have no stats of their own. Shorten it with lnk.hk to see clicks, referrers, countries and devices, and to change the destination later without reprinting the QR code.
