If the Django project implements the Twilio gateway for SMS it can also quite easily offer WhatsApp through Twillio. This feature will work exactly the SMS feature.

Current Behavior

The difference from the current behavior is that users will now be able to select WhatsApp in addition to SMS or Call.

Possible Solution

Implement the new method by simply duplicating the SMS pattern and adjusting for whatsapp accordingly.
