Some errors may happened with old version of whatsapp-web.js, so I recommend to always to use the latest version.

It is because Whatsapp makes regularly a change.

[nazaltk]

Thanks for the reply. I am using version 1.15.2 of whatsapp-web.js This is the latest version, right?

[ngekoding]

Yes, that is already the latest version. Was you try it on your local machine?

[nazaltk]

No. I am running it in server. It is happenin when I am trying to scan the qr code.

[ngekoding]

Wait, let me know which type do you use of whatsapp? Are you using Whatsapp Multi Device Beta?

[nazaltk]

I am using the older version only. Not Whatsapp Multi-Device Beta,

[ngekoding]

I mean the version that you use on your phone.

[ngekoding]

Here is the way to check it

1. Go to Settings
2. Linked Devices
3. See on Multi-Device Beta status (joined or not)

[nazaltk]

I have not joined Beta.
