How to see who clicked your WhatsApp link

A plain WhatsApp link tells you nothing. You share it and only learn something when a chat arrives. To see what happens before that, you need the link to count its clicks.

Whatslynk counts them for you. It shows how many people opened the link, when, from which country and city, on which device and from which app or site. It cannot show who they are: no names, no numbers, and nothing about what was said in the chat.

What to know

  • How many, and when

    Total clicks, unique visitors and a chart by day, for a range you choose, up to a year back on Premium.

  • Where from

    Countries and cities, so you can tell whether the right market is opening your link.

  • On what

    Device, operating system, browser and language, which helps when you design a page or a message.

  • From which app or site

    The referrer shows whether people came from Instagram, Facebook, a website, an email or a printed code.

  • Real people, not robots

    Crawlers and link previews are filtered out, so the numbers show people.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Create a Whatslynk link

    Enter your number and message. Every link records its clicks from the first one, even on the Free plan.

  2. 2

    Use one link for each place

    Make a separate link for your bio, your poster and your ad, so the numbers can be compared.

  3. 3

    Open the Analytics tab

    Pick a date range and read clicks, scans and where they come from.

  4. 4

    Upgrade to see the details

    Free accounts see the totals. Premium adds visitors, cities, devices, referrers and languages, and a CSV export.

Where to use it

Compare channels

See whether Instagram, a flyer or an email brings more people to your chat.

Check a campaign

Add a campaign name to the link, such as ?c=june-sale, and count its clicks apart.

Report to a client

Export the clicks per link as a spreadsheet.
