[BUG] buttons and lists stopped working about baileys HOT 38 CLOSED

After 5 votes from Contributors, Mods, and even Pedro himself, I've decided to begin the process of deleting Buttons and Lists. The patch that I released a few days ago was either under wraps or not widely applied for a long time (2 months) and the same day I posted it here it has been patched internally by WhatsApp. This timing is very fishy and to not irritate Meta even more, I drew this line. If you're a business, and you profit a lot from every conversion you make, you can go ahead and use the official Meta API for all I care. I've been working discreetly with other library leaders for about 50 hours total all together reverse engineering to figure this out (whatsmeowlead, whatsappweb4j, baileys, openwa and wppconnect) and after all our efforts nothing has worked out. This is what we really end up with in the end because depending on solution after solution whatever you build on top of it will fail. Like building a hospital on bamboo scaffolding. It takes a heavy heart to say this, I know. I also have a mountain of code to change now (Hypere, StormChat, and countless other partners and clients over the years). Open-wa, Baileys, whatsapp-web.js, and wppconnect will be deprecated keys. The process is slightly different for each library but in the end it will all be the same. - purpshell, maintainer of whatsapp-web.js and Baileys for 3 years now (in case you didn't know)

So I'm gonna have a look today.
Still even if i fix it, at this point you really shouldn't be relying on buttons.

it's a sign that it's time for you to change lib:v hehehe

It's not about this lib, but indeed at this time WhatsApp has an update and some are missing, I tried other libs and got the same thing, it's good that we try to solve this problem together

Same with me any Solution ?

No solution for now, but to appear on wa web you can still add the viewOnce parameter

How do you add the viewOnce parameter, can you give an example?

`const buttons = [
{buttonId: "id1", buttonText: {displayText: 'Info 1!'}},
{buttonId: "id2", buttonText: {displayText: 'Info 2!'}},
{buttonId: "id3", buttonText: {displayText: '💵 Info 3'}}
]

const buttonInfo = {
text: "Info Warung Kopi",
buttons: buttons,
viewOnce:true,
headerType: 1
}
await sock.sendMessage(noWa, buttonInfo, {quoted: messages[0]});`

FYI, the maintainer have decided to put button feature as deprecated feature. The deprecation will be done in the future. This means the button will not be fixed anymore. It's time to say goodbye to the button feature from the library.

RIP #Buttons #List :(

yeah, the button can still be seen on your 'whatsapp web' but it's not sent to your mobile device... this issue hasn't been fixed for so long

from baileys.

I forgot to reply, but there's a server side filter now. So the issue cannot be solved. Btw only buttons, list and template are getting deprecated

Is it the end of the list for API free?

from baileys.

It seems that if we downgrade the library version, the message button will work again, right?

on older(2 Months ago) versions of Whatsapp yes

from baileys.

Hmm, But if we downgrade, it might not work in the future?

i mean if your users never upgrade the app it will continue working until the app's version becomes unsupported

I see that buton not work also in whatsapp-web.js lib, It see like Facebook block this for whatsapp-web app? or is because the usage for your official api only and block this feature for this api's? for mobile phones

from baileys.

I tested the buttons and the list again, they worked again on IOS.

from baileys.

Is the buttons feature available now or not on WhatsApp? Is it available on WhatsApp Business?
