'launch' is deprecated and shouldn't be used. Use launchUrl instead.

Following all tutorials and articles online, everybody is using launch() function from the known url_launcher plugin to open links, so i used it in my application to open messenger, whatsApp, and directcalls as follows:

_directCall() {
    launch('tel:00962785522213');
  }

  //Open WhatsApp
  _launchWhatsapp() {
    launch("https://wa.me/ 962797809910");
  }

  //Open Messenger
  _openMessenger() {
    launch("http://m.me/amr.al.shugran");
  }

but unfortunately the launch method is no longer used and i have to use launchUrl() so i would be thankful if anyone could tell us how to use this function at the same context am using launch().

You need to use

 //Open Messenger
  _openMessenger() {
    launchUrl(Uri.parse("http://m.me/amr.al.shugran"));
  }

Try it

Future _launchUrl(url) async {
    if (!await launchUrl(Uri.parse(url))) {
      throw 'Could not launch $url';
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Test'),
      ),
      body: OutlinedButton(
        onPressed: () async {
          _launchUrl('www.google.com');
        },
        child: const Text('Open'),
      ),
    );
  }
