I tried and failed maybe someone with experience.
I had the button on my site but I cannot get the skin to display at the same time.

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

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

+1 For this

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.
