i solved it by this: https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js/blob/main/src/util/Injected.js

window.Store.Chat._find = e => {
    const target = window.Store.Chat.get(e)
    return target ? Promise.resolve(target) : Promise.resolve({
        id: e
    })
}

insert this code after line 8(window.Store = window.mR.findModule(‘Chat’)[0].default;)

Fixed this in the latest release, 1.14.1. Please update!

You can send just to phones who are already talked in the past. When you are trying to send msg to new phone the problem will happen

it’s not about join or not joined multidevice, it’s just structure of the modules has changed. still working on it to find the problem.

@eduardoff19 please don’t manually patch these things. It makes upgrading later harder.

Update to version 1.14.1 of the library and the issue should be fixed.

Does this work for contact whom we never done chat? It’s not working for me.
im tested and fully worked, maybe you wrong to place this code
Restarting server solved that issue
