WhatsApp username link and QR code generator

A WhatsApp username lets people reach you without knowing your phone number. A Whatslynk username link wraps it in a short link and a printable QR code, so you can share it on a poster, a profile or a screen and count how many people open it.

Only the username is stored, encrypted, and the full WhatsApp address is rebuilt on each visit, so a link can only ever lead to WhatsApp.

What you get

  • Keep your number private

    Share the link or QR code instead of your phone number. People start a chat with your username.

  • Short link and QR code

    Put it in a bio, on a flyer, on packaging or on a screen. The short link is easier to share than the long WhatsApp address.

  • Clicks and scans counted

    See how many people opened it and, with campaign tags, which poster, ad or message brought them.

  • Edit it later

    Change the username, add a message or switch to a phone number without changing what you printed.
