 * Hi,
 * the WhatsApp social media button always append with”[https://wa.me/https://&#8221](https://wa.me/https://&#8221);
   whenever i try to add the button, on top of full URL provided or even only number
   is provided.
   if i only input phone number in the user profile, it automatically
   append with “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221); and resulting the entire URL to 
   be like:[https://wa.me/https://1234567899](https://wa.me/https://1234567899)i
   tried multiple ways and it doesn’t resolve the issue. seems like a bug.
