How to add whatsapp image in floating action button in flutter because whatsapp icon is not in flutter icon list. Tell me a simple method.

Row(
                    children: [
                      FloatingActionButton(
                        child: const Icon(Icons.chat),
                          backgroundColor: Colors.green.shade800,
                        onPressed: () {
                          
                          String url =
                              "https://wa.me/ 923045873730/?text=Hello";
                          launch(url);
                        
                        },
                      ),
                    ],

The easiest way that comes to my mind is that downloading the icon image of Whatsapp (from flaticon or other website), adding it to the project's assets and adding it as a child( for example asset image).
