Today we are releasing minor version v4.5.0 for WA-JS.

4.5.0 (2026-07-31)​

🐛 Fixes​

  • loader: wait for WhatsApp's Meta module graph to settle before firing loader.injected — fixes isReady/isFullReady getting stuck and "Module not found" errors on cold loads of WhatsApp Web ≥ 2.3000 (#3499, closes #3419)
  • group: resolve group participants by LID or phone number, so participant lookups work on both addressing modes (#3546, closes #3527)
  • chat: restore setChatList() for LID chats (#3493, closes #3280)
  • chat: support @all group mentions when sending messages (#3490)
  • status: fix TypeError when sending text status and media status promises never settling (#3515, closes #3466)
  • chat: match only the poll-votes table in getTableVotes(), avoiding wrong results after WhatsApp DB changes (#3519)

✨ Features​

  • chat: new chat.active_filter_changed event — emitted when the native chat-list filter (All / Unread / Favorites / Groups) changes (#3492, closes #2511)
  • dev: sendTests() console helper to exercise the message send paths during development (#3526)

  • Partially purged WhatsApp Web versions were dropped from the supported range (#3502)
