TheSonic Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 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) sobrenome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ASTRAPI and sobrenome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal V Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Can you share the files? ?It's part of my custom app right now but I'll look into making it into a separate plugin.
