Why do we need to integrate WhatsApp with the WordPress website?
Sometimes we need to add a support system so that users can connect with us quickly and we can reply to them quickly. so, we can use WhatsApp Messenger as a quick communication source. We can put links in HTML code or we can put a chat option in the bottom corner of the site.
Note: WhatsApp Messenger must be installed on your phone or System.

ignore + or any special symbols.
