AlpVir Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 3, 2016 #1 You can send whatsapp messages directly to a specific contact, without going through the app ? Reading some posts seem to understand that this is not possible, but it is very old post and maybe now the situation has changed. If we could send text messages with attached image would be the ideal situation !

KMatle Expert Licensed User Longtime User Aug 3, 2016 #4 Be careful. WhatsApp will probably bann you (=phone number) if you do that without permission. Upvote 0

AlpVir Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 28, 2017 #10 Thank you ! The attached example works perfectly, with a minimum of interaction with WhatsAppp. However, I have not been able to make the next step: send the same message to numerous phone numbers. WhatsApp this function is called "broadcast". Upvote 0

On official websites have only documented some APIs, which allow you to send and own messages not to select who. Or select a person but do not set the message. However APIs exist because browsers and Goggle + allow it to do so. I've seen third-party APIs (paid) that let you do so. Probably even the official ones will be paid, but I have not found any documentation. Also WhatsApp discourages the use of unofficial APIs, use pays parental responsibility peg to use WhatsApp Upvote 0

Already the code I used I use web pages. The documents that DonManfred meant were Java APIs for Android See ufficial API: https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/28000012 These can also be switched to B4A without wrap, but use intent Upvote 0
