How to share Image + Text + URL via WhatsApp

[owidat]

I'm using this plugin in my project with Cordova 3.0 and Telerik AppBilder, My application is targeting iOS and Android.

When the user select sharing via whatsapp, the only thing being share is the photo, is there any other solution to share (image, text and url) to whatsapp.

My code:

        window.plugins.socialsharing.share( 
        msg, 
        imgUrl, 
        url, 
        [function(result) {alert('success'); console.log(result)}], 
        [function(result) {alert('error'); console.log(result)}]);

Also when I use:

        window.plugins.socialsharing.shareViaWhatsApp( 
        msg, 
        imgUrl, 
        url, 
        [function(result) {alert('success'); console.log(result)}], 
        [function(result) {alert('error'); console.log(result)}]);

• is it a WhatsApp problem?

Hi,

WhatsApp is a bit 'different'. See these restrictions for iOS for example: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/iphone/23559013

You can send an image OR a piece of text. Therefore the plugin sends an image when it was passed, put if you leave out the image it will send any text you pass into it. If you only pass a message and a URL the plugin concatenates those for you.

Hope this clarifies things a bit - in the meanwhile let's hope WhatsApp will take advantage of the new iOS8 extensions feature so it comes more in line with Twitter etc.

Best regards, Eddy

Hi piyush-verma, I created Android plugin to sharing image and text at the same time.

void ShareImage(String urlImage, String pathToSave, String title, params String[] comments); https://github.com/Damian-Pumar/Xamarin-Plugins/blob/master/UI.Droid/Plugin/ShareImageTask.cs

I used Xamarin for develop this plugin, you can sharing image and text using url for the image. Regards.

Hi,

When I pass the URL as a parameter, I am getting it as a text only and not as an hyperlink. Can anyone tell me how to resolve it?
