Create New Group with contact with emojis in group name

[wholesomegarden]

Hi There for the past few hours I've been trying to add a new group with a user AND HAVING EMOJI IN THE GROUP NAME

I've finally found a working workaround :smiley:

I'm posting the entire function so maybe you could add a proper new_group(number,groupName) and may incorperate the emoji workaround somehow check the @@@@@ just for the emoji workaround :)

### in __init__.py

def tryOut(self, target, args, timeout = 3, click = False):
    res = None
    t = time.time()
    while(res is None and time.time() - t < timeout):
        try:
            res = target(args)
        except Exception as e:
            print("EEEEEEEEEEEEE",args,"---",e)
            # print(e)
            # print()
            time.sleep(1)
    if click and res is not None:
        again = True

HOPE THIS HELPS 💚 would love to see more group functions such as: newGroup, ExitAndDeleteGroup, removeUserFromGroup, changeGroupName, changeGroupImage(from file or url), changeGroupDescription Thank You
