I don't understand why you close it, I want to delete a chat or a chat group, not a single message!!

Sorry, by mistake. :)

Ok, So is there any way to delete a chat or a chat group?

Well, here is the JSON to delete a chat

Message Tag: 106.--34
got unhandled node of desc: chat
Node {
    desc: "chat",
    attributes: {
        "index": 07566521A2167BC62B62DC982CBE27BE,
        "type": delete,
        "owner": false,
        "jid": 213663331175@c.us,
    },
    content: None,
}

It is a binary message. I am not sure about the index But it seems each chat has its own Index!

Hello, first of all, how are you? It's been a while since we talked & you didn't replied to my msg too. Now about the code, i think you should pass ower too as it's required in clear chat function. Owner means last msg owner not as in chat. Correct me if I missed something.

Regarding the owner, I believe we need to test this more deeper. It is just a fast assumption.

Os. Check your WhatsApp ❤️❤️

I tried following approach unsuccessfully :( The function returned {"status":"499"}

I guess we should find how to get the index somewhere, any idea? I will check if index= first or last message id.

// Delete a Chat
func (wac *Conn) DeleteChat(jid string) (<-chan string, error) {
    ts := time.Now().Unix()
    tag := fmt.Sprintf("%d.--%d", ts, wac.msgCount) // 1st try
    tag = "07566521A2167BC62B62DC982CBE27BE" // 2nd try
    n := binary.Node{
        Description: "action",
        Attributes: map[string]string{
            "type":  "set",
            "epoch": strconv.Itoa(wac.msgCount),
        },
        Content: []interface{}{
            binary.Node{
                Description: "chat",
                Attributes: map[string]string{
                    "index": tag,
                    "type":  "delete",
                    "from":  jid,
                    "owner": "false",
                },
                Content: nil,
            },
        },
    }

    return wac.writeBinary(n, chat, ignore, tag)
}

@beshoo we figure out! The index is the last message id, we tested and now is working! Follows a pr with an example.
