Add the ability to change the label that whatsapp app sees in linked devices #23

Closed lightaffaire closed 1 year ago

lightaffaire commented 1 year ago

When I look at the linked devices to my whatsapp account I see something like:

Chrome(Windows) Firefox(Linux) Chrome(Baileys)

It would be useful and probably prudent to allow mudslide to register itself as:

Firefox|Chrome (Windows | Linux)

Whatsapp/Meta could easily block anything with Baileys on the linked device string so conform to whats usually visable.

Hi @lightaffaire

Thanks for the feedback.

I've updated the connection string, Mudslide now registers itself as Google Chrome (<OS>), for example: Google Chrome (macOS).

You are right, it's probably safer this way. However, note that Mudslide is based on an unofficial WhatsApp library so long-term access is unfortunately unguaranteed.

KR, Rob
