I am putting code below -:

    let message = 'Abcd';
    //let image = 'sdfgbdh.jpg';
    let url = "www.facebook.com";
    this.socialShare
      .shareViaWhatsApp(message,url,null)
      .then(() => {
        console.log('success');

The second parameter is for the image and the third is for URL. Replace your code with this one:

this.socialShare
  .shareViaWhatsApp("Abcd",undefined,"www.facebook.com")
  .then(() => {
    console.log('success');
  })
  .catch(() => {
    console.log('Error');
  });
