When we received message_revoke_everyone event, we can get revoke message and original message, but they have the same messageId, we can not match the original message if we revoked some messages which are same to each other.

Example

// revoke message
{
  "id": {
    "fromMe": true,
    "remote": "[email protected]",
    "id": "3EB08BC1EAB45750A416",
    "_serialized": "[email protected]_3EB08BC1EAB45750A416"
  },
  "ack": 3,
  "hasMedia": false,
  "body": "",
  "type": "revoked",
  "timestamp": 1644233597,
  "from": "[email protected]",
  "to": "[email protected]",
  "deviceType": "web",
  "isForwarded": false,
  "forwardingScore": 0,
  "isStatus": false,
  "isStarred": false,
  "fromMe": true,
  "hasQuotedMsg": false,
  "vCards": [],
  "mentionedIds": [],
  "isGif": false,
  "isEphemeral": false,
  "links": []
}
// original message
{
  "id": {
    "fromMe": true,
    "remote": "[email protected]",
    "id": "3EB08BC1EAB45750A416",
    "_serialized": "[email protected]_3EB08BC1EAB45750A416"
  },
  "ack": 3,
  "hasMedia": false,
  "body": "dong",
  "type": "chat",
  "timestamp": 1644233597,
  "from": "[email protected]",
  "to": "[email protected]",
  "deviceType": "web",
  "isForwarded": false,
  "forwardingScore": 0,
  "isStatus": false,
  "isStarred": false,
  "fromMe": true,
  "hasQuotedMsg": false,
  "vCards": [],
  "mentionedIds": [],
  "isGif": false,

  "links": []
}

I am also needing the id of the message that has been deleted. After and Before have the same message id. Please fix if possible

[telmedola]

Same here. ID from the message delivered is diference the original message.

[CSFelix]

Same issue here!!!!

[Matheus-Lima-Moreira]

anyone knows if this is already fixed?

The original message object and the revoked one have attribute type, then you can compare two message ids and also the value of type they have, if the revoked_message has the same id as a message but the value of type in revoked_message is revoked, then it is a sign that your original message was deleted.

But the problem is the message with the ID that those two variables have was never sent. And the message that was deleted has the other ID. How to detect which message have been deleted?
