Hi,

What I meant is the basic-setting in the standard template Helix Framework 2.0.7, where you can activate the use of social icons. There also is the possibility to use whatsapp... you should fill in your username...

However, whatever you use.. this does not work, the result in the url-bar is:
with your username: whatsapp://send?abid=robert&text=Hi
with your phonenumber: whatsapp://send?abid=31651400843&text=Hi

In both the message received in the browser is:
The address was not understood, Firefox doesn't know how to access this address because one of the following protocols (whatsapp) is not associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. You may need to install other software to access this address.
