I can open whatsapp from standart href link without any problem. Also firefox is works very good.
But i need javascript for sending location. So i write a javascript code.
If i open it on private web page and using window.open command it works perfectly.
But if i open it from normal tab it doesn't work. My web page also has ssl certificate.
What is the wrong ?

What I have tried:

$('#divKonumum').click(function(){
  if (navigator.geolocation) {
			  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
            var whatsAppLink='whatsapp://send?text=http://www.google.com/maps/place/'+position.coords.latitude+','+position.coords.longitude+'&phone=+31623239665';
		    window.open(whatsAppLink);
			});
		}
});

I hava a trick for it.
Firstly i added an tag with id for it.
Later i changed it's href attribute with jquery when page loading.

HTML Side

<a id="aLocation" href="...">
                 ...
</a>

JS Side

$('document').ready(function(){
  if (navigator.geolocation) {
			  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
          var whatsAppLink='whatsapp://send?text=http://www.google.com/maps/place/'+position.coords.latitude+','+position.coords.longitude+'&phone=+31623239665';
				
        $('#aLocation').attr('href',whatsAppLink);
			});
		}
});
