How to Share WhatsApp Web Links on Facebook Posts

WhatsApp Web allows you to use WhatsApp on your computer by syncing it with your mobile device. If you want to share a WhatsApp Web link on Facebook, you can follow the steps below to ensure that the link is clickable and leads directly to the WhatsApp conversation or chat.

Please note that in order for this method to work, you need to have both WhatsApp and Facebook accounts.

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you will need:

  • A computer with internet access
  • Google Chrome or any other preferred web browser

Follow these steps to share a WhatsApp Web link on a Facebook post:

  1. Generate a WhatsApp Web link

    • Open WhatsApp on your mobile device.
    • Navigate to the chat or conversation you want to share.
    • Tap on the contact or group name to open the conversation settings.
    • Select "Export chat" or "More options" (represented by three dots) from the menu.
    • Choose whether you want to attach media or include media in the exported chat (optional).
    • Select "Without media" if you don't want to include media files, or "Include media" if you want to share multimedia files.
    • After making your selection, you will be prompted with various options to share the chat export. Tap on "Copy to Clipboard" to copy the chat export link.
  2. Access Facebook and compose a new post

    • Open your preferred web browser and go to Facebook.
    • Log in to your Facebook account if you haven't already.
    • On your Facebook News Feed or Profile page, locate the "Create a post" section and click on it to start composing a new post.
  3. Paste the WhatsApp Web link

    • In the text field of the new post, right-click and select "Paste" or use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + V" (Windows) or "Command + V" (Mac) to paste the WhatsApp Web link you copied.
  4. Adjust the post settings (optional)

    • You can include additional text or description to accompany the WhatsApp Web link.
    • Customize the visibility of the post using the audience selector located next to your name.
    • If needed, tag friends or add relevant hashtags to increase visibility.
  5. Publish the post

    • Once you have made all the necessary adjustments, review the post to ensure it appears as desired.
    • Click on the "Post" button to publish the post on your Facebook timeline or news feed.

Tips and Considerations

  • Make sure the WhatsApp conversation you want to share is currently active and accessible on WhatsApp Web.
  • WhatsApp Web links will only work if the recipient also has access to WhatsApp Web or the WhatsApp application on their devices.
  • Ensure that the WhatsApp Web link is copied correctly without any additional spaces or characters.
  • The generated WhatsApp Web link will only work for a limited time, usually a few days, before expiring.

Congratulations! You have successfully shared a WhatsApp Web link on a Facebook post. Your friends or followers can now click on the link and access the WhatsApp conversation directly.

Remember to be mindful when sharing personal or sensitive information and consider the privacy settings on both WhatsApp and Facebook before sharing any content publicly.
