No,

At the moment we do not support what’s app or facebook. Each of these has different api and would need custom development. If you are willing to sponsor this feature development then it could be done

As maybe its an expensive and middle development for just one customer.   , You should consider to quote (time and money) for this work, and maybe we as community can afford such implementation as a group,  with donations, maybe with something like kickstarter.com indiegogo.com or patreon ?

There are thounsands of small bussiness that can donate for such important implementations. You can start alerting to all your registred users in this forum, or start collecting emails in your home for sending newsletters.

Im sure you can get more funds than you expect.

So small bussiness pay your new features, and then you can release them as open source code as usual.

Wait your answer or comments.

Re: Chabot Whatsapp

Yes,

Should be. If we are talking about plain messages in that case it's fine. But as example facebook has buttons supports etc etc. Not sure how all that would work under what's app...

Price in any case should be similar... And for investigation for half day really don't have time for that...
