    To send the linebreak, try using %0a
    e.g.

    strMessage = LblCompany.Text & "%0a" & "Invoice Number : " & txtInvoiceno.Text & "%0a" & "Invoice Date : " & DtInvdate.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy") & ""  
    web.Navigate("whatsapp://send?phone=" & txtcontact.Text & "&text=" & strMessage & "")

    To add line breaks in your WhatsApp message via FM Whatsapp, use %0A instead of Environment.NewLine. Update your strMessage like this:

    vb

    Copy code

    strMessage = LblCompany.Text & "%0AInvoice Number : " & txtInvoiceno.Text & "%0AInvoice Date : " & DtInvdate.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")

    Then, use this updated message format in your web.Navigate method. This should correctly display the line breaks in the WhatsApp message.
