WhatsApp sharing button #7

This is mainly a note for the simplesharingbuttons.com version. A few people already suggested to add a WhatsApp sharing button.

This seems like a great idea, I've seen this done on a few sites. I just need to think about the best way to implement it on the website (there should be a server-side detection of the type of device, rather than just hiding the button with CSS on large screens).

I think PC version of WhatsApp is also using whatsapp:// (at least on Windows), maybe simply CSS hide is not a bad idea.
