Automatic open WhatsApp directly using UIDocumentINteractionController without presenting the other apps

I'm developping share image to the other apps, including WhatsApp. I'm using this code and it works.

if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL: [NSURL URLWithString:@"whatsapp://app"]]){
    UIImage *image = [self processImage:sender];

    NSString *savePath  = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/whatsAppTmp.wai"];

    [UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0) writeToFile:savePath atomically:YES];


    _documentInteractionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:savePath]];
    _documentInteractionController.delegate = self;
    _documentInteractionController.UTI = @"net.whatsapp.image";
    [_documentInteractionController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectZero inView:self.view animated:YES];


}else {
    [self showAlertTitle:@"WhatsApp not installed." message:@"Your device has no WhatsApp installed."];
}

The problem is, when I run this code, documentInteractionController presents the other options apps like this image, so I must pick WhatsApp first before it open WhatsApp application.

Can I select Whatsapp App to share the file without presenting the menu for choosing? In other words, can I avoid presentOpenInMenuFromRect ?

I`m using iOS 9 and this issue happen also with my Instagram post
