Hi @bthomazfdlmx - Thanks for reporting the issue. WebView widget is not a valid way to lunch whatsapp link. You should user launch url action.

I have the same problem. Moreover, if you pack a Deeplink to the application page into an html file, open the file on the device and click on the link, the application opens on the specified page. And if the same code is placed in a WebView widget, then when you click on the link an error appears. Looks like a problem with WebView...
