Use http://www.abcd.com. If that does not work and the site still redirects to https then it is probably configuration on your web server. Remote into your web server and review the settings. Otherwise, ask someone from your team to help you.

Yes, something must done but, here on the forum, we cannot see your web.config or IIS settings. Perhaps you can contact your team for assistance.

Hi @RAVI,

Will local access also be redirected to https? Or does it only have this problem when opening via whatapps?

I believe what's app only supports https and converts http url automatically.

note: Most mobile O/S dropped support for http. You really need to update your site to https:
