Expected behavior

Tapping on the WhatsApp icon successfully triggers a URL share on WhatsApp

Actual behavior

An error is displayed

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1 - Go to the Reader 2 - Select a Post that has sharing to WhatsApp enabled (at the bottom of the post, not from the sharing icon on the top right corner that triggers the OS sharing) 3 - Select WhatsApp 4 - An error is displayed: The URL can't be shown

Tested on IPhone 7, iOS 10.2.1, WPiOS 7.0.1

I've seen a few workarounds here, but I wonder if it's time to switch to SFSafariViewController
