The easiest way would be through the custom URL scheme as described here: https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/iphone/23559013
Which basically tells you to open a URI like this: whatsapp://send?text=Hello%2C%20World!. You can simply open it by calling to the Device.OpenUri method of Xamarin.Forms. This should work cross-platform for iOS and Android.
If you want to share a photo immediately this isn't possible as far as I know. It is possible to someone that is in your recent chats, by the sharing API, but to my knowledge you can't send it to a random number. At least not for iOS, it might be different for Android.
