              @mvitoi Sorry for delayed message After some time trying to associate this protocol to any browser in a Virtual machine With windows 7 pro 64x

              i have interesting logs about this.

              1° this protocol is not associate with windows (can't be associated in system)

              2° with Google Chrome "Whatsapp://" do a request to XHTML Protocol, but without response.

              3° in this link

              https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=1111111111111&text=weelll i put web on this url#

              when you change "API" To "WEB" he redirect to whatsapp web page.

              0_1520801808563_23432432111111.png

              BUT, for chat invites, i cant do this 😕

              i will continue my research about it..

              However i think it's a bug.
              I reported to Opera to view if have something to do about that.

              Again, sorry for delayed response.

                      @MVitoi Run this registry script (link) and the WhatsApp protocol will be added automatically on your Windows.

                      Or create and manually run a .reg file with Notepad with the commands:

                      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

                      [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp]
                      "URL Protocol"=""
                      @="URL:whatsapp"
                      "DefaultIcon"=""%localappdata%\WhatsApp\app.ico",1"

                      [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp\shell]

                      [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp\shell\open]

                      [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp\shell\open\command]
                      @=""%localappdata%\WhatsApp\WhatsApp.exe" "%1""

                        I run the reg file but still the api protocol not working 😞

                          @passegua, sorry for the delay, but the solution to the problem is this:

                          Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
                          
                          [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp]
                          "URL Protocol"=""
                          @="URL:whatsapp"
                          
                          [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp\shell]
                          
                          [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp\shell\open]
                          
                          [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp\shell\open\command]
                          @="\"C:\\Users\\wigny\\AppData\\Local\\WhatsApp\\WhatsApp.exe\" \"%1\""
                          

                          Create a .reg file with that content, but replace the wigny user with your user, and it will work.

                            @wignyalmeida There is no such a things as Whatsapp.exe. This reg will never work. The path is invalid.

                                Ah makes sense. But I use Windows 7. Whatsapp for windows is an app for 8 or above.
                                Why can't Opera just work like Chrome since its the same source?

                                  @wignyalmeida Thanks !!! Works perfect, just replace wigny with my username and drive C with D because i have users folder in drive D, thank you.

                                    @rodrigowbs - Hi, It works great. but the message is not send and it text area of the whatsapp web interface. Any tweak is to send the message as a complete text, without submit button.

                                    Thanks
