CodePudding user response：

You can use url_launcher to launch URLs.

You can give https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=(phone_number) URL to launch.

For the launching the WhatsApp Website use launch('https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=(phone_number)')

Make sure you give your country code without ( ).

First, add url_launcher, then I use this code to launch whatsapp on flutter webview and works.

WebView(
                initialUrl: getUrl(_url),
                javascriptMode: JavascriptMode.unrestricted,
                navigationDelegate: (NavigationRequest request) async {
                  if (request.url
                      .startsWith('https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone')) {
                    print('blocking navigation to $request}');
                    List<String> urlSplitted = request.url.split("&text=");
              
                    String phone = "0123456789";
                    String message =
                        urlSplitted.last.toString().replaceAll(" ", " ");
                   
                    await _launchURL(
                        "https://wa.me/$phone/?text=${Uri.parse(message)}");
                    return NavigationDecision.prevent;
                  }

                  print('allowing navigation to $request');
                  return NavigationDecision.navigate;
                },
          
              )

_launchURL(String url) async {
    if (await canLaunch(url)) {
      await launch(url);
    } else {
      throw 'Could not launch $url';
    }
  }
