Overview
WhatsApp Chooser lets you pick between WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business every time you click a wa.me link.
If you use both a personal and a business WhatsApp account on your Mac, you know the problem: clicking a wa.me link always opens the same app, with no way to choose. This extension fixes that.
HOW IT WORKS
- Click any wa.me or api.whatsapp.com link
- A clean chooser popup appears showing the contact number
- Pick "WhatsApp" or "WhatsApp Business" — the right app opens instantly
FEATURES
- Works with wa.me, api.whatsapp.com, and web.whatsapp.com links
- Shows the phone number and message text before you choose
- Fully configurable: works with any WhatsApp-compatible client (ChatMate, etc.)
- Fast native messaging host written in C — no lag, no dependencies
- Privacy-first: no data collected, no analytics, fully open source
SETUP
This extension requires a small native helper to launch the correct app. After installing:
1. Download the native host from GitHub (link below)
2. Run install.sh with your extension ID
3. Restart Chrome
