How to find and share your WhatsApp channel link
A WhatsApp channel link opens your channel so people can follow it with one tap. It works from a website, a social profile, a video description, a QR code or an email, and people do not need to search for the channel by name.
The link comes from WhatsApp and looks like https://whatsapp.com/channel/ followed by a code. It is long and easy to get wrong, so Whatslynk wraps it in a short link and a QR code, and counts how many people open it.
