many phone number tracking

[Alexvojander]

Hi,
Learned your code and few another repositories
it is possible to track many phone numbers at the same time?
Even if they are not in contact list.
Thanks!

Hi @Alexvojander
I think it is not possible to track many phone number at the same time because we are tracking online status by web-browser and we can't open multiple person's chats at the same time. Or there is other way also that we can set the script in such a way that it will run tracking script in multiple terminal but we need to have multiple whatsapp account to open whatsapp-web in multiple browser.
Currently, there is no feature to track a person if contact is not in contact list. We can add this feature also in tracking script.
thanks :)

Hey @rpotter12 I think we can create a script to iterate through contacts and track many numbers, what do you think?

[Alexvojander]

Hi, @xandao6 , this script is already exist, the key question is to track users that is not in your contact list.

Currently, it is not possible to track users that are not in your contact list because there is no option in whatsapp-web to open a chat by number. And we can't track without opening their chats.

I believe that there may be any alternative to track person by phone number. We need to find that.
Cheers :)

Hi @xandao6
I think iterating through contacts will not keep tracking any person all the time or for every second.
I think this will not be a good idea for tracking multiple users at the same time but you try your implementation and check whether it tracks all the persons at the same time or not. :)

Yes there is! check this out:

You can try implementation for this :)

[xandao-dev]

Soon I will!

@Alexvojander @xandao6
I was thinking about this feature #61. Let's have a discussion about this :)

[xandao-dev]

What do you have in mind?

[xandao-dev]

#133 We have a issue to target unsaved people.

[rpotter12]

I think we can track many phone numbers by using threads. I don't know is this a correct way or not.

[xandao-dev]

Thread would be good practice and the best option, but it would also work with a loop.

[xandao-dev]

The only problem is whether the status will load or not when switching between contacts, just testing to find out.

[HarsheetKakar]

Even if we use threads when we synchronize it to wait for one contact to load and check its status, wouldnt the output would be similar to what we see in a loop?

[xandao-dev]

yes, but a loop block the program
