Hello,
I pusblished a post on my website and i added sharing buttons including whatsapp.
When i try to share on whatsapp it is giving me error “no application associated”
Any idea?
Hi there,
That depends on the device that you use and the version of the Whatsapp installed. The only thing that the theme does is to generate a link with a markup like this:
<a href="whatsapp://send?text=The text to share!" data-action="share/whatsapp/share">Share via Whatsapp</a>
As you can see there is a protocol whatsapp:// that is the standard protocol which the Whatsapp uses to open up the application. Now if your device does not have the application installed or does not allow to open up the application it will not respond.
Unfortunately, that is outside of our hands and depends completely on the device that you test the case.
For more information:
Thank you for your understanding.
Hello,
I am using Windows 10 and Opera browser. Is this relevant?
I am also using web,whatsapp.com,
In other term the sharing button work on mobile only and not on Computer. Is there a way to let button work on Laptop?
Thx
Hey @tarekr,
There’s no way to make that work on laptop because it’s designed for mobile like the tel:// protocol.
