Please, add WhatsApp as a Sharing option in site Promotion.

I have just taken a look at my website statistics right now and more than 50% of the visitors are accessing it by cell phones.

It's a must for great community promotion the option to share content by WhatsApp.

AddThis (http://www.addthis.com/blog/2014/08/13/new-services-added-including-whatsapp-sharing/#.VNqycMbZGC8) and AddToAny (https://www.addtoany.com/services/whatsapp_button) already offer WhatsApp sharing button.

There is a ready to use javascript that can be used by IPS 4: http://whatsapp-sharing.com

I looked at this, too. Seems not too hard to implement. On my favorite Wordpresssites, most shares are done via WhatsApp since they installed that plugin.

Im pretty sure, we will see this in IPS4 (Core or Plugin)

Actually looking more into this I have just implemented it quickly to my site via mobile. Needs some work but I added

 

<div class="right"><a href="whatsapp://send?text=JustATest"><img src="//phoneunlockserver.com/images/whatsapp.png"/></a></div>

 

To my mobile skin after 

				{parse template="defaultHeader" group="global" params=""}
			</if>

I think it's better than relying on external websites and javascript

​It works on IOS, but still needs the page Title and URL.

What about Android? Does it work with Google's OS?

I'm looking at creating my first hook it works on android in fact I don't have IOS like I said that was just a quick rough test to see if it worked.

I'm thinking about hook with a small floating button in the mobile skin to share the current page via whatsapp

​This is great ! I also want to add a WhatsApp-Button to the Desktopstyles. Why? On Wordpress, many people see that button and visit the site using their mobile just to share content via WhatsApp, so Desktopusers should also know they have the possibility to do so :smile:

We still need WhatsApp share button as long as the hook is not working anymore.

My plugin's on approved queue in marketplace. WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber.
