                @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""

                            @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
