[Bug] Mysterious chat? about whaticket-community HOT 6 CLOSED

My bad for affirming it @deepesh-agarwal 😢

No issues, I guess the empty message fix should be fixing it.

@deepesh-agarwal Do you have discord?

Sorry :(

@canove I think i identified the issue in @deepesh-agarwal case.

I have a number in my phone contact list, but i don't have that number in my whaticket contact list tab, because i didn't synced my contact list, so that number appears like 551999509xxxx, and it doesn't appear the name of the contact, because i haven't synced this contact in my whaticket contact list tab.

So today that number turned into a business account, and it popped up two empty messages like @deepesh-agarwal issue.
How i know it turned into a business account? I opened a chat in my phone with this person and saw a balloon saying that today that person turned his account into a business account.

These two empty messages are not on my phone and also not on wpp.web.
These two empty messages types are e2e_notification and notification_template.

The solution is to ignore message type equals e2e_notification and notification_template.

@deepesh-agarwal I realized that this happens when the person (in this case 6147905xxxx) turns his account from a personal account to a business account or vice versa. It generates an event like status@broadcast does.
Please enter the chat of the 6147905xxxx number and check if that number has just turned today his whatsapp account into a business account, and tell us. Or turn your account into business and you will get the event in the backend console.

I dont have a spare whatsapp number here so i can't test turning the number into business account and get the backend console event to post here. =(

And so to fix this mysterious chat i think we need to get that type of event generated when someone turn his account into a business account and ignore it in the wbotMessageListener.js file, in the section bellow:

		if (
			msg.from === "status@broadcast" ||
			msg.type === "location" ||
			msg.type === "call_log" ||
			msg.author != null // Ignore Group Messages
		) {
			return;

That number is not in my chats or contacts? How a random number will trigger this on my whatsapp setup!!

I did a search for the name on the phone.

Hello 😄

I just tested on my phone and saw that there is a type of notification like status@broadcast, call_log, and etc,
where it comes with message empty.

That empty balloon is some notification, i can't tell which notification it is, cuz there is plenty of notification types,
like the one where it says in a Green Balloon "You are talking to a business account [...]", there is the one in a Yellow Balloon where it says "Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted [...]".

The types of chat messages are: (https://console.wassenger.com/docs/#operation/getDeviceMessages)

Array Filter messages by chat type
"text" "chat" "notification" "notification_template" "group_notification" "gp2" "broadcast_notification" "e2e_notification" "call_log" "protocol" "location" "payment" "vcard" "ciphertext" "multi_vcard" "revoked" "image" "video" "audio" "ptt" "sticker" "document" "unknown"

Yellow Balloons where it says Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. No one outside of this chat [...] ,
the type of it is e2e_notification.
