Share text and/or image to WhatsApp:

  phone: "1234567890",             // Optional phone with country code without '+'
);

Share text and/or image to WhatsApp Business:

await WhatsappSharePlus.shareToWhatsappBusiness(
  text: "Hello from Flutter Business!",
  imagePath: "/path/to/image.jpg", // Optional
  phone: "1234567890",             // Optional
);

iOS Setup #

<array>
    <string>whatsapp</string>
    <string>whatsapp-business</string>

Notes #

• On iOS, sharing text and images together shows a warning because WhatsApp iOS does not support sharing text with image programmatically.

• On Android, the plugin handles copying image files to a cache folder to avoid permission issues and memory leaks.

• Always check if WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business is installed before sharing.
