This error message shows that the number you're trying to find does not have a valid WhatsApp Account.

This Method will only work for numbers with valid account otherwise it will fail

Dear Mr. Kalebu, thanks for the reply but i wanted to tell you that i am using the valid number on it but it only allows me to send message for those who are already added in my contact list/whatsapp list so i am trying to clear you once again that on unknown/unsaved your code is not working

the same code was working before 5 days but after upgradation / updating the whatsapp i am facing the problem

[syedizhar1979]

you can check this number +923468203866, this is original number of my customer, which is not added in my contact list or whatsapp list so this is new number/unknown number or unsaved number, where whatsapp is not allowing to send direct message and giving error

[syedizhar1979]

the above whatsapp picture showing that number is exist on whatsapp

[syedizhar1979]

i would like to advise you all that please check this alright wrapper code on new/unsaved/unknown whatsapp number, now whatsapp increases the security last week through its new update, please check

[Kalebu]

Thank you for clarifying and letting us know

We look into and see if there are ways around this

[Kalebu]

Hello @syedizhar1979 @matanmoshe

Are you still experiencing the issue, just tried seconds ago for unsaved number it worked

Please let me know ?

[matanmoshe]

@Kalebu looks like the issue is resolved

[syedizhar1979]

@Kalebu yes thanks, issue resolved but what was the issue? you update it or Whatsapp did it by themselves ???

[Kalebu]

Good to hear this @syedizhar1979 @matanmoshe

I haven't changed anything, It was an update done WhatsApp themselves

I will now close this issue
