A customer has requested we add a WhatsApp share button: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/will-you-add-whatsapp-and-email?replies=2
WhatsApp detail their API here: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/iphone/23559013
In HTML it would look something like this for Android and iOS:
<a href="whatsapp://send?text=Check%20out%20my%20incredible%20post.%20http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com">Share on WhatsApp</a>
I have a quick demo of this online here that works in iOS for me: http://debug.wpdemo.me/watest.html
We should probably hide the button on desktop and other platforms.
BuzzFeed have found their WhatsApp button to be more popular than the twitter one, apparently, so it's worth considering for some sites: http://qz.com/179261/people-are-already-sharing-more-buzzfeed-stories-to-whatsapp-than-to-twitter/
