I'm making Jekyll page. I wanted to have a link - when clicked it should start WhatsApp. It should work both on desktop browser and Android browser.
When I follow official docs, then click on recommended there link https://wa.me/15551234567?text=MESSAGE!! in desktop browser redirects me to some weird url
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=15551234567&text=MESSAGE%21%21&source=&data=&app_absent=
And content looks pretty ugly on Firefox (on Chrome it looks fine):
There is link (blue "Send" text with <a href=...) which when clicked - goes to https://web.whatsapp.com/ but this should rather go to https://web.whatsapp.com/ right away without clicking.
On the other hand, when I make the link to reference this url https://web.whatsapp.com/send?phone=123123123&text=MESSAGE!! - it works on desktop browser (i.e. it goes directly to https://web.whatsapp.com/) but on Android browser it opens page whatsapp.com while it should start WhatsApp's native application or start https://web.whatsapp.com/.
Am I doing it wrong or it's WhatsApp weirdness?
