The direct link needs no shortening service. A short link is optional and depends on an external service.

For privacy, short links are off by default: if enabled, the URL, number and message are sent to is.gd/TinyURL.

FAQ

You can place them on websites, in emails, QR codes and social profiles. Some platforms restrict links and some formats require the app to be installed. Test the context where you will use them.
Yes. The number must be registered with WhatsApp. The person opening the link can use the app or WhatsApp Web, where supported.
QRWave does not set an expiry date on direct links. They remain usable while the account, number and service format are supported. Short links depend on the external provider.
Short links are optional and depend on is.gd or TinyURL. If is.gd fails or times out, we try TinyURL. Availability and lifetime are managed by those services.
No data is sent to our server by default. Generated links, QR codes and history are saved locally in your browser. If you enable short links, the URL is sent to an external shortening service.
