Cannot Linking. openURL whatsup message in react native

Question

I need to open whatsup with a preloaded message, like this:

Linking.openURL('whatsapp://send?text==%C2%A1Hola!%20Quiero%20realizar%20una%20consulta.&phone=5493416931539').catch(err => console.error('An error occurred', err));

I receive the error message: "{"framestopop:1,code:EUNSPECIFIED"}"

I've tried with .catch(() => null); but doesn't work neither.

You need to use the below code

import { Linking } from ‘react-native’;
shareToWhatsAppWithContact = (text, phoneNumber) => {
 Linking.openURL(`whatsapp://send?text=${text}&phone=${phoneNumber}`);
}
