Try use ( webView.stopLoading() ) example

if (url.startsWith("tel:") || url.startsWith("whatsapp:")) {
                    System.out.println("URL SHOW MR whatsaap  ++++++++  " + url);
                    Intent intenti = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                    intenti.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                    startActivity(intenti);
                    webView.stopLoading();
                    return false;
                }

You did everything right, but the code { return false } does not stop the browser from trying to load an invalid URL. – KiborgMaster Jul 11 '23 at 09:42

Best solution for me

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView wv, WebResourceRequest request) {
            String url = request.getUrl().toString();
            
            Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
            startActivity(i);

            return true;
        }
