Adding simple whatsapp share Button to Wordpress

I tried all the Information I could find. But im too stupid to make it work. Im not a programmer. Would love to offer my readers on my blog a share button to whatsapp.

the following was working half way.

<a href="whatsapp://send?text=The text to share!" data-action="share/whatsapp/share">Share via Whatsapp</a>

its opening whatsapp but its not fetching the current page url link. how could I make this work? to share easy and fast current page urls via whatsapp as a link. in best case in android and ios.

Thanks for any help
