-<div align='center'>A WebSockets-based TypeScript library for interacting with the WhatsApp Web API, customized for Newsletter/Channel Media support, built-in Advanced Interactive Message Builders (MessageBuilder v4.6), and full backwards compatibility for MikirBot & Kiu-style bots.</div>
+<div align='center'>blurose/baileys is a WebSockets-based TypeScript library for interacting with the WhatsApp Web API.</div>
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **This is a custom fork and patch of `@whiskeysockets/baileys` (`@blurose/baileys`)**
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> NOTICE OF BREAKING CHANGE.
 >
-> Developed & Maintained by: **Xyraa Team** & **alfavz**.
+> As of 7.0.0, multiple breaking changes were introduced into the library.
 >
-> `@blurose/baileys` keeps the current upstream Baileys RC internals while adding a rich compatibility layer for older Kiu/@z4phdev-style bots and MikirBot projects. The goal is to let existing plugins continue working without replacing newer Baileys features such as modern LID/PN, newsletter, community, and MEX handling.

+- Baileys does not require Selenium or any other browser to be interface with WhatsApp Web, it does so directly using a **WebSocket**.
+- Not running Selenium or Chromium saves you like **half a gig** of ram :/
+- Baileys supports interacting with the multi-device & web versions of WhatsApp.
+- Thank you to [@pokearaujo](https://github.com/pokearaujo/multidevice) for writing his observations on the workings of WhatsApp Multi-Device. Also, thank you to [@Sigalor](https://github.com/sigalor/whatsapp-web-reveng) for writing his observations on the workings of WhatsApp Web and thanks to [@Rhymen](https://github.com/Rhymen/go-whatsapp/) for the __go__ implementation.

+## Blurose Custom Features
+
+### Buttons and Interactive Messages
+Send interactive buttons easily using native structures (no external wrappers required).
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(jid, {
+    text: 'Choose an option below:',
+    footer: 'Powered by blurose/baileys',
+    buttons: [
+        { buttonId: 'id1', buttonText: { displayText: 'Option 1' }, type: 1 },
+        { buttonId: 'id2', buttonText: { displayText: 'Option 2' }, type: 1 }
+    ],
+    headerType: 1
+})
+```
+
+### A2UI Bloks Widgets
+Send complex interactive messages (Cards, Text Fields, Checkboxes, etc.) natively without manually managing XML nodes or raw JSON. Blurose Baileys handles the heavy lifting and bypasses standard third-party restrictions automatically.
+
+```ts
+import { A2UI } from '@blurose/baileys'
+
+const ui = new A2UI()
+
+// 1. Build your UI components
+const title = ui.text("Welcome to A2UI", { variant: "h1" })
+const desc = ui.text("This is an advanced interactive message.")
+const checkbox = ui.checkbox("I agree to terms")
+const card = ui.card(ui.column([title, desc, checkbox]))
+
+// 2. Set the root layout
+ui.root([card])
+
+// 3. Send natively using sendMessage!
+await sock.sendMessage(jid, {
+    a2ui: ui,
+    text: "Fallback body text",
+    footer: "• Powered by Blurose",
+    // You can even combine it with Native Flow Buttons!
+    buttons: [
+        {
+            name: "cta_url",
+            params: {
+                display_text: "Visit Website",
+                url: "https://github.com/blurose"
+            }
+        }
+    ]
+})
+```
+
+### Custom Pairing
+Enhanced pairing code logic tailored for custom device registration and bypassing common connection limits.
+```ts
+if (!sock.authState.creds.registered) {
+    const number = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
+    const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(number)
+    console.log('Your Custom Pairing Code:', code)
+}
+```
 
----
+### Session Auto-Heal (Pre-Keys)
+This fork features an automatic session healing mechanism for `pre-key` loops and decryption mismatches. If the connection encounters a fatal pre-key loop or encryption error (a common issue in the WhatsApp Multi-Device architecture), the socket will gracefully self-heal the session state in the background without dropping the user or requiring a fresh QR/Pairing scan.
 
 ## Connecting Account
 
 WhatsApp provides a multi-device API that allows Baileys to be authenticated as a second WhatsApp client by scanning a **QR code** or **Pairing Code** with WhatsApp on your phone.
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> **[Here](#example-to-start) is a simple example of event handling**
+
+> [!TIP]
+> **You can see all supported socket configs in the [SocketConfig type alias](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/SocketConfig/) (Recommended)**
+
 ### Starting socket with **QR-CODE**
 
+> [!TIP]
+> You can customize browser name if you connect with **QR-CODE**, with `Browser` constant, we have some browsers config, **see the [BrowsersMap type alias](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/BrowsersMap/)**
+
 ```ts
 import makeWASocket from '@blurose/baileys'
 
 const sock = makeWASocket({
-    browser: ['Ubuntu', 'Chrome', '20.0.0'],
+    // can provide additional config here
+    browser: Browsers.ubuntu('My App'),
     printQRInTerminal: true
 })
 ```
 
-If the connection is successful, you will see a QR code printed on your terminal screen. Scan it with WhatsApp on your phone to log in.
+If the connection is successful, you will see a QR code printed on your terminal screen, scan it with WhatsApp on your phone and you'll be logged in!
 
-### Starting socket with **Custom Pairing Code**
+### Starting socket with **Pairing Code**
 
-If you prefer letting users input their phone number via the terminal rather than scanning a QR code, you can build a custom pairing logic:
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Pairing Code isn't Mobile API, it's a method to connect Whatsapp Web without QR-CODE, you can connect only with one device, see [here](https://faq.whatsapp.com/1324084875126592/?cms_platform=web)
+
+The phone number can't have `+` or `()` or `-`, only numbers, you must provide country code
 
 ```ts
 import makeWASocket from '@blurose/baileys'
-import readline from 'readline'
-
-const question = (text) => {
-    const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout })
-    return new Promise((resolve) => rl.question(text, resolve))
-}
 
 const sock = makeWASocket({
-    printQRInTerminal: false
+    // can provide additional config here
+    printQRInTerminal: false //need to be false
 })
 
 if (!sock.authState.creds.registered) {
-    const number = await question('Masukkan nomor WhatsApp (contoh: 628xxx):\n')
-    const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(number.trim())
-    console.log(`Kode Pairing Kamu: ${code}`)
+    const number = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
+    const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(number)
+    console.log(code)
 }
 ```
 
 ### Receive Full History
 
+1. Set `syncFullHistory` as `true`
+2. Baileys, by default, use chrome browser config
+    - If you'd like to emulate a desktop connection (and receive more message history), this browser setting to your Socket config:
+
 ```ts
 const sock = makeWASocket({
+    ...otherOpts,
+    // can use Windows, Ubuntu here too
+    browser: Browsers.macOS('Desktop'),
     syncFullHistory: true
 })
 ```

 ## Important Notes About Socket Config
 
 ### Caching Group Metadata (Recommended)
-- If you use Baileys for groups, we recommend setting `cachedGroupMetadata` in socket config:
+- If you use baileys for groups, we recommend you to set `cachedGroupMetadata` in socket config, you need to implement a cache like this:
 
-```ts
-const groupCache = new NodeCache({ stdTTL: 5 * 60, useClones: false })
+    ```ts
+    const groupCache = new NodeCache({stdTTL: 5 * 60, useClones: false})
 
-const sock = makeWASocket({
-    cachedGroupMetadata: async (jid) => groupCache.get(jid)
-})
+    const sock = makeWASocket({
+        cachedGroupMetadata: async (jid) => groupCache.get(jid)
+    })
 
-sock.ev.on('groups.update', async ([event]) => {
-    const metadata = await sock.groupMetadata(event.id)
-    groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
-})
+    sock.ev.on('groups.update', async ([event]) => {
+        const metadata = await sock.groupMetadata(event.id)
+        groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
+    })
 
-sock.ev.on('group-participants.update', async (event) => {
-    const metadata = await sock.groupMetadata(event.id)
-    groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
-})
-```
+    sock.ev.on('group-participants.update', async (event) => {
+        const metadata = await sock.groupMetadata(event.id)
+        groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
+    })
+    ```
 
----
+### Improve Retry System & Decrypt Poll Votes
+- If you want to improve sending message, retrying when error occurs and decrypt poll votes, you need to have a store and set `getMessage` config in socket like this:
+    ```ts
+    const sock = makeWASocket({
+        getMessage: async (key) => await getMessageFromStore(key)
+    })
+    ```
 
+### Receive Notifications in Whatsapp App
+- If you want to receive notifications in whatsapp app, set `markOnlineOnConnect` to `false`
+    ```ts
+    const sock = makeWASocket({
+        markOnlineOnConnect: false
+    })
+    ```
 ## Saving & Restoring Sessions
 
-Save credentials to log back in without scanning a QR code:
+You obviously don't want to keep scanning the QR code every time you want to connect.
+
+So, you can load the credentials to log back in:
 ```ts
 import makeWASocket, { useMultiFileAuthState } from '@blurose/baileys'
 
 const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')
 
+// will use the given state to connect
+// so if valid credentials are available -- it'll connect without QR
 const sock = makeWASocket({ auth: state })
+
+// this will be called as soon as the credentials are updated
 sock.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
 ```
 
----
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> `useMultiFileAuthState` is a utility function to help save the auth state in a single folder, this function serves as a good guide to help write auth & key states for SQL/no-SQL databases, which I would recommend in any production grade system.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> When a message is received/sent, due to signal sessions needing updating, the auth keys (`authState.keys`) will update. Whenever that happens, you must save the updated keys (`authState.keys.set()` is called). Not doing so will prevent your messages from reaching the recipient & cause other unexpected consequences. The `useMultiFileAuthState` function automatically takes care of that, but for any other serious implementation -- you will need to be very careful with the key state management.
 
 ## Handling Events
 
+- Baileys uses the EventEmitter syntax for events.
+They're all nicely typed up, so you shouldn't have any issues with an Intellisense editor like VS Code.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **The events are in the [BaileysEventMap type alias](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/BaileysEventMap/)**, it's important you see all events
+
+You can listen to these events like this:
 ```ts
+const sock = makeWASocket()
 sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', ({ messages }) => {
     console.log('got messages', messages)
 })
 ```
 
-### Auto-Heal Pre-Key
+### Example to Start
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This example includes basic auth storage too
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> For reliable serialization of the authentication state, especially when storing as JSON, always use the BufferJSON utility.
+
 ```ts
-sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async ({ messages }) => {
-    for (const msg of messages) {
-        if (msg.messageStubType === 2) sock.ws.close()
+import makeWASocket, { DisconnectReason, useMultiFileAuthState } from '@blurose/baileys'
+import { Boom } from '@hapi/boom'
+
+async function connectToWhatsApp () {
+    const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')
+    const sock = makeWASocket({
+        // can provide additional config here
+        auth: state,
+        printQRInTerminal: true
+    })
+    sock.ev.on('connection.update', (update) => {
+        const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update
+        if(connection === 'close') {
+            const shouldReconnect = (lastDisconnect.error as Boom)?.output?.statusCode !== DisconnectReason.loggedOut
+            console.log('connection closed due to ', lastDisconnect.error, ', reconnecting ', shouldReconnect)
+            // reconnect if not logged out
+            if(shouldReconnect) {
+                connectToWhatsApp()
+            }
+        } else if(connection === 'open') {
+            console.log('opened connection')
+        }
+    })
+    sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', event => {
+        for (const m of event.messages) {
+            console.log(JSON.stringify(m, undefined, 2))
+
+            console.log('replying to', m.key.remoteJid)
+            await sock.sendMessage(m.key.remoteJid!, { text: 'Hello Word' })
+        }
+    })
+
+    // to storage creds (session info) when it updates
+    sock.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
+}
+// run in main file
+connectToWhatsApp()
+```
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> In `messages.upsert` it's recommended to use a loop like `for (const message of event.messages)` to handle all messages in array
+
+### Decrypt Poll Votes
+
+- By default poll votes are encrypted and handled in `messages.update`
+- That's a simple example
+```ts
+sock.ev.on('messages.update', event => {
+    for(const { key, update } of event) {
+        if(update.pollUpdates) {
+            const pollCreation = await getMessage(key)
+            if(pollCreation) {
+                console.log(
+                    'got poll update, aggregation: ',
+                    getAggregateVotesInPollMessage({
+                        message: pollCreation,
+                        pollUpdates: update.pollUpdates,
+                    })
+                )
+            }
+        }
     }
 })
 ```
 
----
+- `getMessage` is a [store](#implementing-a-data-store) implementation (in your end)
+
+### Summary of Events on First Connection
+
+1. When you connect first time, `connection.update` will be fired requesting you to restart sock
+2. Then, history messages will be received in `messaging.history-set`
 
 ## Implementing a Data Store
 
-This custom fork restores `makeInMemoryStore` out of the box:
+- Baileys does not come with a defacto storage for chats, contacts, or messages. However, a simple in-memory implementation has been provided. The store listens for chat updates, new messages, message updates, etc., to always have an up-to-date version of the data.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> I highly recommend building your own data store, as storing someone's entire chat history in memory is a terrible waste of RAM.
+
+It can be used as follows:
 
 ```ts
 import makeWASocket, { makeInMemoryStore } from '@blurose/baileys'
-
-const store = makeInMemoryStore({})
+// the store maintains the data of the WA connection in memory
+// can be written out to a file & read from it
+const store = makeInMemoryStore({ })
+// can be read from a file
 store.readFromFile('./baileys_store.json')
+// saves the state to a file every 10s
 setInterval(() => {
     store.writeToFile('./baileys_store.json')
 }, 10_000)
 
-const sock = makeWASocket({})
+const sock = makeWASocket({ })
+// will listen from this socket
+// the store can listen from a new socket once the current socket outlives its lifetime
 store.bind(sock.ev)
+
+sock.ev.on('chats.upsert', () => {
+    // can use 'store.chats' however you want, even after the socket dies out
+    // 'chats' => a KeyedDB instance
+    console.log('got chats', store.chats.all())
+})
+
+sock.ev.on('contacts.upsert', () => {
+    console.log('got contacts', Object.values(store.contacts))
+})
+
 ```
 
----
+The store also provides some simple functions such as `loadMessages` that utilize the store to speed up data retrieval.
 
 ## Whatsapp IDs Explain
 
-- `jid` format:
-  - User: `[country code][phone number]@s.whatsapp.net` (e.g. `628123456789@s.whatsapp.net`)
-  - LID User: `[id]@lid`
-  - Group: `[timestamp]@g.us`
-  - Channel / Newsletter: `[id]@newsletter`
-  - Stories: `status@broadcast`
-
----
+- `id` is the WhatsApp ID, called `jid` too, of the person or group you're sending the message to.
+    - It must be in the format ```[country code][phone number]@s.whatsapp.net```
+	    - Example for people: ```+19999999999@s.whatsapp.net```.
+	    - For groups, it must be in the format ``` 123456789-123345@g.us ```.
+    - For broadcast lists, it's `[timestamp of creation]@broadcast`.
+    - For stories, the ID is `status@broadcast`.
 
 ## Utility Functions
 
-- `isJidUser(jid)`: Checks if JID is a phone number user.
-- `isJidNewsletter(jid)` / `isJidNewsLetter(jid)`: Checks if JID is a WhatsApp Channel.
-- `getContentType(message)`: Returns message content type.
-- `downloadContentFromMessage(message, type)`: Downloads media content buffer.
-
----
+- `getContentType`, returns the content type for any message
+- `getDevice`, returns the device from message
+- `makeCacheableSignalKeyStore`, make auth store more fast
+- `downloadContentFromMessage`, download content from any message
 
 ## Sending Messages
 
+- Send all types of messages with a single function
+    - **In the [AnyMessageContent type alias](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/AnyMessageContent/) you can see all message contents supported, like text message**
+    - **In the [MiscMessageGenerationOptions type alias](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/MiscMessageGenerationOptions/) you can see all options supported, like quote message**
+
+    ```ts
+    const jid: string
+    const content: AnyMessageContent
+    const options: MiscMessageGenerationOptions
+
+    sock.sendMessage(jid, content, options)
+    ```
+
 ### Non-Media Messages
 
 #### Text Message
 ```ts
-await sock.sendMessage(jid, { text: 'hello world' })
+await sock.sendMessage(jid, { text: 'hello word' })
+```
+
+#### Quote Message (works with all types)
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(jid, { text: 'hello word' }, { quoted: message })
+```
+
+#### Mention User (works with most types)
+- @number is to mention in text, it's optional
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    jid,
+    {
+        text: '@12345678901',
+        mentions: ['12345678901@s.whatsapp.net']
+    }
+)
+```
+
+#### Forward Messages
+- You need to have message object, can be retrieved from [store](#implementing-a-data-store) or use a [message](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/WAMessage/) object
+```ts
+const msg = getMessageFromStore() // implement this on your end
+await sock.sendMessage(jid, { forward: msg }) // WA forward the message!
+```
+
+#### Location Message
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    jid,
+    {
+        location: {
+            degreesLatitude: 24.121231,
+            degreesLongitude: 55.1121221
+        }
+    }
+)
+```
+#### Contact Message
+```ts
+const vcard = 'BEGIN:VCARD\n' // metadata of the contact card
+            + 'VERSION:3.0\n'
+            + 'FN:Jeff Singh\n' // full name
+            + 'ORG:Ashoka Uni;\n' // the organization of the contact
+            + 'TEL;type=CELL;type=VOICE;waid=911234567890:+91 12345 67890\n' // WhatsApp ID + phone number
+            + 'END:VCARD'
+
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    id,
+    {
+        contacts: {
+            displayName: 'Jeff',
+            contacts: [{ vcard }]
+        }
+    }
+)
 ```
 
 #### Reaction Message
+- You need to pass the key of message, you can retrieve from [store](#implementing-a-data-store) or use a [key](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/WAMessageKey/) object
 ```ts
 await sock.sendMessage(
     jid,
     {
         react: {
-            text: '💖',
+            text: '💖', // use an empty string to remove the reaction
             key: message.key
         }
     }
 )
 ```
 
-### Upload Media to Channel
+#### Pin Message
+- You need to pass the key of message, you can retrieve from [store](#implementing-a-data-store) or use a [key](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/WAMessageKey/) object

+- Time can be:
+
+| Time  | Seconds        |
+|-------|----------------|
+| 24h    | 86.400        |

+### Sending Messages with Link Previews
+
+1. By default, wa does not have link generation when sent from the web
+2. Baileys has a function to generate the content for these link previews
+3. To enable this function's usage, add `link-preview-js` as a dependency to your project with `yarn add link-preview-js`
+4. Send a link:
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    jid,
+    {
+        text: 'Hi, this was sent using https://github.com/whiskeysockets/baileys'
+    }
+)
 ```
 
----
+### Media Messages
 
-# Disclaimer
-This project is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with WhatsApp or any of its subsidiaries or its affiliates.
-Use at your own discretion. Do not spam people with this. We discourage any stalkerware, bulk or automated messaging usage.
+Sending media (video, stickers, images) is easier & more efficient than ever.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> In media messages, you can pass `{ stream: Stream }` or `{ url: Url }` or `Buffer` directly, you can see more in the [WAMediaUpload type alias](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/WAMediaUpload/)
+
+- When specifying a media url, Baileys never loads the entire buffer into memory; it even encrypts the media as a readable stream.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> It's recommended to use Stream or Url to save memory
+
+#### Gif Message
+- Whatsapp doesn't support `.gif` files, that's why we send gifs as common `.mp4` video with `gifPlayback` flag
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    jid,
+    {
+        video: fs.readFileSync('Media/ma_gif.mp4'),
+        caption: 'hello word',
+        gifPlayback: true
+    }
+)
+```
+
+#### Video Message
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    id,
+    {
+        video: {
+            url: './Media/ma_gif.mp4'
+        },
+        caption: 'hello word',
+	    ptv: false // if set to true, will send as a `video note`
+    }
+)
+```
+
+#### Audio Message
+- To audio message work in all devices you need to convert with some tool like `ffmpeg` with this flags:
+    ```bash
+        codec: libopus //ogg file
+        ac: 1 //one channel
+        avoid_negative_ts
+        make_zero
+    ```
+    - Example:
+    ```bash
+    ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -ac 1 output.ogg
+    ```
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    jid,
+    {
+        audio: {
+            url: './Media/audio.mp3'
+        },
+        mimetype: 'audio/mp4'
+    }
+)
+```
+
+#### Image Message
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    id,
+    {
+        image: {
+            url: './Media/ma_img.png'
+        },
+        caption: 'hello word'
+    }
+)
+```
+
+#### View Once Message
+
+- You can send all messages above as `viewOnce`, you only need to pass `viewOnce: true` in content object
+
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    id,
+    {
+        image: {
+            url: './Media/ma_img.png'
+        },
+        viewOnce: true, //works with video, audio too
+        caption: 'hello word'
+    }
+)
+```
+
+## Modify Messages
+
+### Deleting Messages (for everyone)
+
+```ts
+const msg = await sock.sendMessage(jid, { text: 'hello word' })
+await sock.sendMessage(jid, { delete: msg.key })
+```
+
+**Note:** deleting for oneself is supported via `chatModify`, see in [this section](#modifying-chats)
+
+### Editing Messages
+
+- You can pass all editable contents here
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(jid, {
+      text: 'updated text goes here',
+      edit: response.key,
+    });
+```
+
+## Manipulating Media Messages
+
+### Thumbnail in Media Messages
+- For media messages, the thumbnail can be generated automatically for images & stickers provided you add `jimp` or `sharp` as a dependency in your project using `yarn add jimp` or `yarn add sharp`.
+- Thumbnails for videos can also be generated automatically, though, you need to have `ffmpeg` installed on your system.
+
+### Downloading Media Messages
+
+If you want to save the media you received
+```ts
+import { createWriteStream } from 'fs'
+import { downloadMediaMessage, getContentType } from '@blurose/baileys'
+
+sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async ({ [m] }) => {
+    if (!m.message) return // if there is no text or media message
+    const messageType = getContentType(m) // get what type of message it is (text, image, video...)
+
+    // if the message is an image
+    if (messageType === 'imageMessage') {
+        // download the message
+        const stream = await downloadMediaMessage(
+            m,
+            'stream', // can be 'buffer' too
+            { },
+            {
+                logger,
+                // pass this so that baileys can request a reupload of media
+                // that has been deleted
+                reuploadRequest: sock.updateMediaMessage
+            }
+        )
+        // save to file
+        const writeStream = createWriteStream('./my-download.jpeg')
+        stream.pipe(writeStream)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Re-upload Media Message to Whatsapp
+
+- WhatsApp automatically removes old media from their servers. For the device to access said media -- a re-upload is required by another device that has it. This can be accomplished using:
+```ts
+await sock.updateMediaMessage(msg)
+```
+
+## Reject Call
+
+- You can obtain `callId` and `callFrom` from `call` event
+
+```ts
+await sock.rejectCall(callId, callFrom)
+```
+
+## Send States in Chat
+
+### Reading Messages
+- A set of message [keys](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/WAMessageKey/) must be explicitly marked read now.
+- You cannot mark an entire 'chat' read as it were with Baileys Web.
+This means you have to keep track of unread messages.
+
+```ts
+const key: WAMessageKey
+// can pass multiple keys to read multiple messages as well
+await sock.readMessages([key])
+```
+
+The message ID is the unique identifier of the message that you are marking as read.
+On a `WAMessage`, the `messageID` can be accessed using ```messageID = message.key.id```.
+
+### Update Presence
+
+- ``` presence ``` can be one of the values in the [WAPresence type alias](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/WAPresence/)
+- The presence expires after about 10 seconds.
+- This lets the person/group with `jid` know whether you're online, offline, typing etc.
+
+```ts
+await sock.sendPresenceUpdate('available', jid)
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If a desktop client is active, WA doesn't send push notifications to the device. If you would like to receive said notifications -- mark your Baileys client offline using `sock.sendPresenceUpdate('unavailable')`
+
+## Modifying Chats
+
+WA uses an encrypted form of communication to send chat/app updates. This has been implemented mostly and you can send the following updates:
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> If you mess up one of your updates, WA can log you out of all your devices and you'll have to log in again.
+
+### Archive a Chat
+```ts
+const lastMsgInChat = await getLastMessageInChat(jid) // implement this on your end
+await sock.chatModify({ archive: true, lastMessages: [lastMsgInChat] }, jid)
+```
+### Mute/Unmute a Chat
+
+- Supported times:
+
+| Time  | Miliseconds     |
+|-------|-----------------|
+| Remove | null           |
+| 8h     | 86.400.000     |
+| 7d     | 604.800.000    |
+
+```ts
+// mute for 8 hours
+await sock.chatModify({ mute: 8 * 60 * 60 * 1000 }, jid)
+// unmute
+await sock.chatModify({ mute: null }, jid)
+```
+### Mark a Chat Read/Unread
+```ts
+const lastMsgInChat = await getLastMessageInChat(jid) // implement this on your end
+// mark it unread
+await sock.chatModify({ markRead: false, lastMessages: [lastMsgInChat] }, jid)
+```
+
+### Delete a Message for Me
+```ts
+await sock.chatModify(
+    {
+        clear: {
+            messages: [

+)
+console.log(response)
+```
+### Get All Participating Groups Metadata
+```ts
+const response = await sock.groupFetchAllParticipating()

+### Toggle Ephemeral
+
+- Ephemeral can be:
+
+| Time  | Seconds        |
+|-------|----------------|
+| Remove | 0          |
+| 24h    | 86.400     |
+| 7d     | 604.800    |
+| 90d    | 7.776.000  |
+
+```ts
+await sock.groupToggleEphemeral(jid, 86400)
+```
+
+### Change Add Mode

+)
+```
+
+## Privacy
+
+### Block/Unblock User

+console.log(response)
+```
+### Update LastSeen Privacy
+```ts
+const value = 'all' // 'contacts' | 'contact_blacklist' | 'none'
+await sock.updateLastSeenPrivacy(value)
+```
+### Update Online Privacy
+```ts
+const value = 'all' // 'match_last_seen'
+await sock.updateOnlinePrivacy(value)
+```
+### Update Profile Picture Privacy
+```ts
+const value = 'all' // 'contacts' | 'contact_blacklist' | 'none'
+await sock.updateProfilePicturePrivacy(value)
+```
+### Update Status Privacy
+```ts
+const value = 'all' // 'contacts' | 'contact_blacklist' | 'none'
+await sock.updateStatusPrivacy(value)
+```

+await sock.updateReadReceiptsPrivacy(value)
+```
+### Update Groups Add Privacy
+```ts
+const value = 'all' // 'contacts' | 'contact_blacklist'
+await sock.updateGroupsAddPrivacy(value)
+```
+### Update Default Disappearing Mode
+
+- Like [this](#disappearing-messages), ephemeral can be:
+
+| Time  | Seconds        |
+|-------|----------------|
+| Remove | 0          |
+| 24h    | 86.400     |
+| 7d     | 604.800    |
+| 90d    | 7.776.000  |
+
+```ts
+const ephemeral = 86400
+await sock.updateDefaultDisappearingMode(ephemeral)
+```
+
+## Broadcast Lists & Stories
+
+### Send Broadcast & Stories
+- Messages can be sent to broadcasts & stories. You need to add the following message options in sendMessage, like this:
+```ts
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    jid,
+    {
+        image: {
+            url: url
+        },
+        caption: caption
+    },
+    {
+        backgroundColor: backgroundColor,
+        font: font,
+        statusJidList: statusJidList,
+        broadcast: true
+    }
+)
+```
+- Message body can be a `extendedTextMessage` or `imageMessage` or `videoMessage` or `voiceMessage`, see the [AnyRegularMessageContent type alias](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/AnyRegularMessageContent/)
+- You can add `backgroundColor` and other options in the message options, see the [MiscMessageGenerationOptions type alias](https://baileys.wiki/docs/api/type-aliases/MiscMessageGenerationOptions/)
+- `broadcast: true` enables broadcast mode
+- `statusJidList`: a list of people that you can get which you need to provide, which are the people who will get this status message.
+
+- You can send messages to broadcast lists the same way you send messages to groups & individual chats.
+- Right now, WA Web does not support creating broadcast lists, but you can still delete them.
+- Broadcast IDs are in the format `12345678@broadcast`
+### Query a Broadcast List's Recipients & Name
+```ts
+const bList = await sock.getBroadcastListInfo('1234@broadcast')
+console.log (`list name: ${bList.name}, recps: ${bList.recipients}`)
+```
+
+## Writing Custom Functionality
+Baileys is written with custom functionality in mind. Instead of forking the project & re-writing the internals, you can simply write your own extensions.
+
+### Enabling Debug Level in Baileys Logs
+First, enable the logging of unhandled messages from WhatsApp by setting:
+```ts
+const sock = makeWASocket({
+    logger: P({ level: 'debug' }),
+})
+```
+This will enable you to see all sorts of messages WhatsApp sends in the console.
+
+### How Whatsapp Communicate With Us
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you want to learn whatsapp protocol, we recommend to study about Libsignal Protocol and Noise Protocol
+
+- **Example:** Functionality to track the battery percentage of your phone. You enable logging and you'll see a message about your battery pop up in the console:
+    ```
+    {
+        "level": 10,
+        "fromMe": false,
+        "frame": {
+            "tag": "ib",
+            "attrs": {
+                "from": "@s.whatsapp.net"
+            },
+            "content": [
+                {
+                    "tag": "edge_routing",
+                    "attrs": {},
+                    "content": [
+                        {
+                            "tag": "routing_info",
+                            "attrs": {},
+                            "content": {
+                                "type": "Buffer",
+                                "data": [8,2,8,5]
+                            }
+                        }
+                    ]
+                }
+            ]
+        },
+        "msg":"communication"
+    }
+    ```
+
+The `'frame'` is what the message received is, it has three components:
+- `tag` -- what this frame is about (eg. message will have 'message')
+- `attrs` -- a string key-value pair with some metadata (contains ID of the message usually)
+- `content` -- the actual data (eg. a message node will have the actual message content in it)
+- read more about this format [here](/src/WABinary/readme.md)
+
+### Register a Callback for Websocket Events
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Recommended to see `onMessageReceived` function in `socket.ts` file to understand how websockets events are fired
+
+```ts
+// for any message with tag 'edge_routing'
+sock.ws.on('CB:edge_routing', (node: BinaryNode) => { })
+
+// for any message with tag 'edge_routing' and id attribute = abcd
+sock.ws.on('CB:edge_routing,id:abcd', (node: BinaryNode) => { })
+
+// for any message with tag 'edge_routing', id attribute = abcd & first content node routing_info
+sock.ws.on('CB:edge_routing,id:abcd,routing_info', (node: BinaryNode) => { })
+```
