Create fast WhatsApp chat links to phone numbers without saving them as contacts — directly from your WordPress dashboard or anywhere on your site.

== Description ==

**TalkToHim Fast Chat** lets you and your site visitors quickly open WhatsApp chat links to any phone number without saving it to your contacts first.

The plugin generates public `wa.me` links compatible with WhatsApp Web, Desktop and mobile apps.

This plugin is designed as a lightweight utility tool for fast and direct communication.

= Features =

* **Admin tool** — accessible from the WordPress sidebar, always one click away.
* **Shortcode** `[talktohim_fast_chat]` — embed the tool on any page, post or widget area.
* **30+ country prefixes** — with flag emojis and full country names.
* **Pre-filled message** — optionally set a default message for the chat input.
* **Recent numbers** — the last 10 used numbers are stored locally for quick re-use (admin only).
* **Settings page** — configure the default country prefix and default message globally.
* **Focused admin UI** — simple and fast interface for quick use.
* **No external API calls** — the plugin generates standard chat links and does not connect to external APIs.
* **Accessible** — semantic HTML, labels and keyboard navigation support.

= Shortcode Usage =

Basic usage:
`[talktohim_fast_chat]`

With custom prefix and message:
`[talktohim_fast_chat prefix="39" message="Hello! I found your number on the website."]`

= Privacy =

TalkToHim Fast Chat does not collect, store or transmit any personal data to the plugin author's servers.

Phone numbers entered in the admin tool are stored only in the browser's `localStorage` on the current device.

The shortcode does not use cookies or local storage.

When a user clicks the generated chat link, the browser opens the public chat URL with the number and optional message entered by the user.

1. Upload the `talktohim-fast-chat` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install via the WordPress plugin screen.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
3. Click **TalkToHim** in the admin menu to start using the tool.
4. Optionally visit **TalkToHim → Settings** to configure default options.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
