Whatsapp says message wasn't sent, but it was

[paulocsanz]

Hey, today we started experiencing a weird issue on whatsapp.

Some of our clients send messages using go-whatsapp and they are appearing with the red exclamation point next to them, like if they weren't sent at all. But the other person is in fact receiving them (and replying to them).

We are suspecting that this has something to do with whatsapp-web's version change, and since go-whatsappuses an older version is making the app confused.

It seems wise that the community documents and investigates more this version change, because it may start causing real problems soon.

Same issue. However, for WhatsApp applications that have not been updated, this does not happen.

I've found solution and it worked

Whatsapp changes the status value in the node format, where previously it was 0 (error) to 1 (pending). so in the message.go file, Send(msg interface{}), before

ch, err := wac.sendProto(msgProto)

Add this code to change status:

status := proto.WebMessageInfo_PENDING
msgProto.Status = &status

Try this solution

Thanks

Or do you want me to do it?

@ramacatur thank you!

What did you do to discover this solution? Did you decrypt the message whatsapp web was sending?
