This is a very simple multi-text fake WhatsApp chat plugin for jQuery.
It adds a floating-like button to your site that calls the WhatsApp Click to Chat API.
It will automatically begin a WhatsApp button with the number you specify.
You an also activate a fake chat window animation with a customized message where the user can input their reply before opening WhatsApp.
Link the files to your html (make sure you load the files after jQuery)
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="floating-wpp.min.js"></script>
