How can I find my contact is online?

[infahash]

On whatsapp web I can find any person is online with below code.

Store.Precense.find("XXXXXXXXXX@c.us").then(function (d) { console.log(d.isOnline) })

but since few days it's not returning correct data until I open that contact's chat screen on my android. Can I do then same thing with this or there is an other way?

At #11, someone mentioned that the rules for finding a contact's online status have been changed in the past few weeks. I haven't confirmed their statement yet though.

Apart from that, this project's main goal is not really to document the WhatsApp Web console API. I rather added it to the readme because it's a gentle introduction into how various messages (meta or actual) are sent via the websockets and further processed.

Anyway, it would certainly be nice if you would like to investigate this further and maybe even add your results to the readme eventually.

@karopass As I know all applications doing this service are down now. I search lot of applications on google play to see there in any way to get online/offline data. but nothing found. previously getting online/offline data through whatsapp web is a simple thing. but they changed it. So we have to find new way to do that.

@karopass Whatsapp web will no longer useful because we can't see online, last seen status of our contacts untill open chat screen on phone. So they must have to fix it. I have informed to whatsapp web team about this problem. But only got automatic reply.

With messageTag,["action", "presence", "subscribe", "49123456789@c.us"] over the websocketapi, you'll get an initial message about the current presence and subscribe to all future presence changes.

[lelandolt]

@wiomoc Could you please further explain that? How do I get to the websocketapi? Kind regards

[infahash]

@wiomoc Only initial message receiving. No responce for presence changes. It has blocked from their server.

@karopass It's not a command to run on console. It's the message that send from websocket to whatsapp server when subscribing presence update.

[wiomoc]

@infahash This is strange, I receive further presense changes.

[lelandolt]

@wiomoc Are you using Google Chrome? And could you please explain the steps, so that I can try it?

[infahash]

@wiomoc How you send the message. From whatsapp web on browser or from this repository.

Are you sure you receiving message when contact online\offline?

[azharuddinkhan8898]

@wiomoc You are getting presence info for the contact which is stored in your contact or you have conversation with that number?

[wiomoc]

@infahash @klausweibel i'm currently developing my own client. But the code works the same as in this repository @azharuddinkhan8898 I get presense changes for every contact I subscribe to. @klausweibel sadly you couldn't do this via chrome.

[azharuddinkhan8898]

@wiomoc So you are making this client on which platform?

[wiomoc]

@azharuddinkhan8898 https://github.com/wiomoc/whatsappweb-rs/

[infahash]

@wiomoc I tried with send message to whatsapp websocket with this repository. But only getting a responce with content "status:200". No responce on contact presence change. I have to open chat window on my phone to get available/unavailable responce.

[wiomoc]

@infahash I've just added an example to my repository https://github.com/wiomoc/whatsappweb-rs/blob/master/examples/presence.rs

[infahash]

[infahash]

@azharuddinkhan8898 working as normal whatsap web. presence subscribe working only for numbers with chat initialized. Whatsapp has changed it from their server. server response to presence subscribe only from android/ios app.

[infahash]

@azharuddinkhan8898 If you really need it I have a method that working for few numbers. But you need to have an (extra android phone + pc to connect whatsappweb) or (pc with android emulator installed)

[azharuddinkhan8898]
