Looks like WhatsApp has updated their web with class names etc. Script is no longer working..

Thanks @gitmayoor. Yes, since the WhatsApp page uses React, class names change all the time. I am looking for a different approach to scrap the page, but until that happens, I will update the class names. 👍

It's been 7 months since the change and the code still work, i think for now it's ok, but we are looking forward to other options to prevent this changes broke the code.
