[devlikepro]

There's no READ message.ack even in group messages in WEBJS engine.

webjs changes the message.ack but doesn't fire the issue. The possible solution would be to request a message after a while to check the message.ack via GET /api/{session}/chats/{chatId}/messages/{messageId} (not ready yet https://github.com/devlikeapro/waha/issues/484)

We'll research the issue with ack a bit later

Hi! Added message.ack support for Groups and Status in WEBJS in 2025.4.2 Now you should receive the events

also added message._data.receipts in 💬 Chats - Get message by id so you can check the ack (for groups and status messages only)

Hello! About tagsEventsOn...

Is there any way to enable it through WAHA’s global environment variables?

In my use case, I spin up a container with a session already started programmatically using WHATSAPP_START_SESSION, so it would be important for that session to start with tagsEventsOn = true.
