lowkey just a heads up for anyone setting up their contact info on job profiles. i was trying to make a quick shortcut using my handle but it keeps failing. turns out the wa. me/username format is still completely broken and won't redirect properly like the phone number version does. i checked this through two different methods to be certain. if u want a link that actually works, u have to use the full international format like wa. me/15551234567. it is super annoying because everyone assumes handles work the same way as numbers now. i spent way too much time reading random blogs that claimed it worked but they were all wrong ]. just stick to the digits for now so you don't look unprofessional with a dead link. has anyone else found a workaround or is there some secret setting i missed? it should be this easy lol

i had this same issue last week when i was updating my portfolio. it's such a massive waste of time because you think the link is working just because the page loads, but then it just sits there on a blank screen without opening the app. i ended up having to manually test every single contact link in my bio to make sure nothing else was broken.
>everyone assumes handles work the same way as numbers now

that part is so true. most people don't even realize that the
wa.me
api relies on the specific digit string to trigger the redirect properly. i actually started using a linktree just to avoid this headache entirely since it handles the redirects more reliably for me. does your profile use any other third-party links that might be affected by this same bug?
