I have been reading around and links indicate that
sms:?body=test body message should work but it doesn't seem to work on a Windows Nokia Lumia phone. While this code works on an android phone.
BTW, sms:;body=test body message works on iphone.
Any pointers?
I have same problem, only thing is there is no associated apps that recognise these types of links but found this that may help
https://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/store/app/nfcsms/55e57a87-d1fd-420a-8f3c-892c0b7da8af - this APP does work;-) but the user must have the app installed on their phone ;-(
I am adding a prompt or popup so user can either download app and send via sms or use an emailto alternative. That should be problem solved. Hope that helps.

I have a html whatsapp link for users to share a website link via their whatsapp application.
I have used the following links to share:
<a href="https://wa.me/?text=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com" target="_blank" data-action="share/whatsapp/share">
or
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=&text=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com
*Note that the shared links are already encoded
I understand that this link will automatically launch the whatsapp app if it is detected on their device, otherwise it would just redirect them to the app store.
However, I am only having an issue with chrome on iPhone 8.
The links work fine on other browsers (Safari, Firefox, Opera)
IOS, Chrome & Whatsapp are all up to date.
Even though whatsapp is installed on the device, it still redirects me to the app store.
the App store has a button which opens whatsapp, but the send shared link message window is not present. it just opens whatsapp like normal.
Is there a fix for this?
I think, as a temporary fix at least, try making the link copy to the clipboard, then give the user an alert that it has happened. I'm not sure of how to fix it, as when I tested it it worked fine, but I'm using a slightly older version of iOS. Perhaps that means the new version made some changes about how this works?
First: Official Whatsapp Sharing Documentation. Try one of the following formats...
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=YourShareTextHere
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=YourShareTextHere&phone=123
These seem to work for me!

I have an ios app with a password reset feature. When a user hits password reset, I'm sending out a password reset email from my server and within the email is a link to a web page to reset the password.
This feels kind of clunky. I would like to know if it's possible have the email html detect if I am on an iphone and if so, have the link be a url scheme to open the app. then, from within the app, the user resets the pwd.
If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.
Universal Links
Use Universal Links. Apple delivered Universal Links to handle opening of the app when installed, and falling back to your chosen path mobile web, App Store.
All I have is a simple <input type='file'/> and a Windows Phone 8X HTC. In all other devices (iPod, ipad, android), the button is clickable and a file dialog shows up. But when I click it on windows phone - nothing happens. No file dialog at all.
I remember seeing people sending emails with attachments with their windows phones, so I assume that I am doing something wrong.
How can I upload a file on windows phone?
P.S. when I went to people whom I saw sending attachments with their phone, I found that they used native app, not html...
Windows Phone 8 doesn't support this directly from the browser (apparently, it might if you have an expansion card/memory card in the phone, but I don't have one to test with). I can say that the current developer preview of Windows Phone 8.1 does support it. When you click a file upload button in IE11 on WP8.1, a file selector is shown.
I have a HTML 5 app which works with offline storage. It only needs to work in Chrome at the moment. I want the user to be able to access the app both online and offline. At the moment I am asking the user to bookmark the page to come back to it when offline.
I would like to have a link: "Click here to create a desktop shortcut". Does anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.
I encourage you to get your app in the Chrome Web Store and it will be installed to the users Chrome. Any app that is created to work offline will work offline regardless of it having a desktop icon or not.
If the user is on Windows they can also create an application shortcut that will be placed on to the desktop.
for some reason, the following code doesn't work. I don't understand where the issue is. I just want to open a client e-mail app to send an e-mail.
Send an email to a friend
Safari visits the page "mailto:enter-friend#address-here.com?subject=Pa0Website&body=This%20e-mail%20has%20been%20sent%20to%20inform%20you%20about%20%20website:%20"
Chrome doesn't do anything
I haven't tested on other browsers so far.
Thanks
You don't get to decide how the client deals with a mailto link. Each user/browser can do what it wants with those links. For instance, I have my chrome setup to open GMail when I click mailto links. Apparently you have yours setup to not do anything. Here's a random link running down how to do something like this on your system - http://bnee.com/2008/09/make-mailto-links-open-in-gmail-in-google-chrome-browser-windows-xp-and-vista/
