Can you add the ability to whatapp button to open the desktop app rather than whatapp web, like you've done with Telegram button?

you need to add something like this: https://wa.me/?text=usersharedurlencodedtext

I ended up building my own, but using the react-share icon

<a
  href={`whatsapp://send?text=${encodeURI(
    message
  )}`}
>
  <WhatsappIcon size={38} />
</a>
