Open mobile app (WhatsApp) from Figma

Hi Community!

I have a prototype which has a button that sends the user to a WhatsApp conversation. Yesterday I was able to open that link with my Figma directly into to WhatsApp app. Now however, the link is opened in a browser. I did not change anything, so I don’t know how this happened. What can I do to force the Figma app to open my link in the app instead of in a browser?
Maybe this is a WhatsApp thing that changed, but it’s very weird…

Thanks 🙂

Hey @Elias10, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delayed reply!

Are you still having trouble with your WhatsApp link?

We’re normally not able to troubleshoot for issues with other Apps, but I found this article in WhatsApp’s Help Center that may help:
