I noticed this happening this morning but I didn’t realise how I did it, but I’ve just been able to replicate it consistently: When I swipe right anywhere on my instagram page, WhatsApp automatically opens and pre-populates a message from myself, to a random hair and makeup business, saying “Hello! I would like to book on to one of your courses”. I’m a 27 y/o male with no interest in hair/makeup so I can’t imagine how this is happening. I’ve tried blocking the account on WhatsApp, but it pops up even if I kill the WhatsApp app in the background. Im not swiping on any instagram links either, I’ve scrolled down and it does it even on random instagram posts from friends. I’m very confused so any help would be massively appreciated.

    Maybe meta now do these type of ads? I dont think thats what happened. Ran any kind of anti virus/malware? Try reinstalling instagram and test it again
