[lukaszsz99]

I want to redirect from Whatsapp ngx-sharebutton to https://api.whatsapp.com/ from desktop browser (ngx-sharebuttons v11.0.0).

Current Behavior
When clicking Whatsapp sharebutton using ... it redirects to ... :
using desktop browser - it redirects to - https://web.whatsapp.com/
using mobile browser - it redirects to - https://api.whatsapp.com/

Expected Behavior
When clicking Whatsapp sharebutton using ... it redirects to ... :
using desktop browser - it redirects to - https://api.whatsapp.com/
using mobile browser - it redirects to - https://api.whatsapp.com/

Purpose
When redirected to https://api.whatsapp.com/ on desktop, the Whatsapp application (desktop version) will open automatically if it is installed.

Environment

• Angular:
• ngx-sharebuttons:

Yes, you can override the props

Here is a working stackblitz https://stackblitz.com/edit/ngx-sharebuttons-zc2yo3?file=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.module.ts

ShareButtonsModule.withConfig({
  prop: {
    whatsapp: {
      share: {
        desktop: 'https://api.whatsapp.com/send?',
        android: 'whatsapp://send?',
        ios: 'https://api.whatsapp.com/send?'
      },
    }
  },
  debug: true,
}),

At the time I configured whatsapp the default links worked the best. maybe now https://api.whatsapp.com/send? works for all platforms, do let us know what worked out for you!
