also, auto reply chat also doesn't get catch by

After, upgrading and downgrading again pupeteer to version 17.0.0 back to 13.0.0. It works again.

What I found is, now my web.whatsapp version is on 2.2238.7 not 2.2240.7.

I think the problem is whatsapp-web.js not working on web.whatsapp version 2.2240.7 yet?

Clearing session or clearing pupeteer user-data and login again fixes the issue. It maybe because of whatsapp version change.

I will keep in mind to do that, if the problem occurred again.

Inside the src/util/Injected.js file

on line 230 add this code

const ephemeralSettings = { ephemeralDuration: undefined, ephemeralSettingTimestamp: undefined, disappearingModeInitiator: undefined, };

on line 370 comment this code

// msg.links = (message.getLinks()).map(link => ({ // link: link.href, // isSuspicious: Boolean(link.suspiciousCharacters && link.suspiciousCharacters.size) // }));

Seems resolved, use the latest versions (1.18.2)
