How do I link to wechat from a webpage?

Whatsapp allows you to link to a new message via 

<a href="whatsapp://send?text=The text to share!" data-action="share/whatsapp/share" class="Share-link m-whatsapp">

How do I do the same thing with WeChat?

Solution

  • WeChat does have a URI scheme that can be used from a browser. The scheme prefix is weixin://.

    There are a few URIs that can be used with this:

    weixin://dl/stickers
weixin://dl/settings
weixin://dl/posts
weixin://dl/moments

    However, in answer to your question specifically, there is one where you can chat to a contact specifically:

    weixin://dl/chat?{toID}

    You will need to replace {toID} with whatever the destination user's WeChat ID is.

    For reference's sake, these are the URLs that I've found this information from previously:
