In looking at their website, they don’t have a lot of support for developers. See: http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/iphone/23559013

You probably could implement their document handler method with Enterprise. The URL scheme should work with system.openURL()

Hello, I would like to know if anyone has been able to launch whatsapp using the URL scheme? (I need to do so from Android)

Thanks.

Rob !

message sharing is simple like this system.openURL(“whatsapp://send?text=Hello%2C%20World!”)

but not photos sharing ???

According to the cofounder of WhatsApp there are no plans for releasing a developer API - please read below:

Apart from the simple invocation of WhatsApp with prefilled text, using the custom url as shown in qasim’s post above that’s about all there will in the short to medium term.

We can’t provide support for Whatsapp. You need to ask them if you can use photos using URL schema’s.
