WhatsApp Icon in "Social Links"

Unfortunately the Icon for WhatsApp is missing in the "Social Links" of Squarespace. Can Squarespace kindly add it? Currently only a "URL" symbol shows instead of the WhatsApp Icon.

you need to add through custom html and css.... whatsup not in this.

Thanks for the reply. How do you mean to do this?

It would be nice if Squarespace would add WhatsApp to their list of Social Icons I think https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205814598

through code block .. upload whatsup icon image in custom css box. then copy that url and add image and whatsup number.

Update from Squarespace Support:

"As it seems you've discovered, we don't currently offer that feature, but I'd be happy to suggest it to our development team on your behalf. While we can't guarantee implementation of every suggestion, customer feedback is an important part of how we continue to improve our platform, so we appreciate your input.

Although we can't disclose information about upcoming product releases, we are actively developing the platform to provide the best customer experience."

Let's see what happens next, in the meantime, yes, one should implement the logo manually like @mdhanjal suggested :)

Still waiting for the Whatsapp Icon... it shouldn't be that difficult to add, and it will provide a lot of benefits! Please, @squarespace support. we are begging for it! 

It's been over a year by now and I agree with @Caballero that it shouldn't be such a big deal to implement an icon... Anyone has any idea when we can expect the update?

WhatsApp is the second largest Social Media in the World and has approx. 1 bio users... It should really be treated with higher relevancy than providing "IMDb" or "VSCO" Icons...

@Caballero we are looking to use / share WhatsApp details through our website too! 

@Caballero I also agree, Whatsapp is crucial in any WebStore today... let's make this post a complaint and send the link here to give more attention.

I'm definitely waiting for the WhatsApp update . I hope this happens soo, this is so inconvenient.

I think square-space staff update it soon. 

I think you need to add through custom html and css.

We are having the same situation here. Was glad we found this thread, but left disappointed so far. Hope someone can share their knowledge how to do the coding. Thanks very much. 

Please @Squarespace! Add this to the website please. Like many have mentioned above, it probably doesn't require a lot of coding!

yes! @SQUARESPACE add whatsapp as an social link!! it's an important thing for us who have an online shop!!

@squarespace is normal member... you can tag admin, ss employee ☠️

You can add "link" icon, then we can use CSS to replace "link" with "whatsapp" icon.

You can create first, then share link, I can take a look

I believe that this is today one of the mishaps that costs Squarespace a lot ... in countries like India, Brazil, Indonesia, Colombia, Portugal, Spain, Italy and even the USA, which is currently the 3rd in the list of users of the application there must be thousands of customers who give up subscribing to Squarespace just for this reason. Here in Portugal is the first question from the people that I present Squarespace, always!
Whatsapp is the world's largest messaging app and all of Squarespace's competition has this option for customers, we don't have to wait a lifetime for this and limit our business possibilities ... they have to take a look at this topic and we have to open more complaints.

If it wasn't that dead serious, it is almost funny that a modern company like Squarespace doesn't support social sharing by mail or by WhatsApp in 2020!!

Come on Squarespace, it shouldn't be that difficult for you. When can we expect????
