How can I change the WhatsApp client connection name?

How can I change the WhatsApp client connection name? By default it is Whatsmeow. I want to change it to Google Chrome.

Searching for \"whatsmeow in this project led me to this line:

whatsmeow/store/clientpayload.go

Line 126 in 00abc29

Os: proto.String("whatsmeow"),

Would be cool if this could be configurable. @tulir Would you be open to MRs for this?

[tulir]

It's a public variable, you can just change the fields inside it (or use the SetOSInfo method that's right next to it, although that doesn't have a parameter for setting the browser type)

Yeah, I also just realized this. Sorry for the noise, @tulir!

For the records: this is the code that changes the device name:

store.DeviceProps.Os = proto.String("Oculta")

Also see

whatsmeow/mdtest/main.go

Line 60 in 00abc29

store.DeviceProps.RequireFullSync = proto.Bool(true)

Hi @ibrahimypr

I just go deep dive into the problem, and I saw we can modified it as real connection with this piece of codes

store.SetOSInfo("Linux", store.GetWAVersion())
store.DeviceProps.PlatformType = waCompanionReg.DeviceProps_CHROME.Enum()
