use getContactLidAndPhone convert to @c.us format

There may be no natural way to change it completely, but we can work around it with the function manually.

Using the “getContactLidAndPhone” function multiple times drastically increases the chance of being banned.

Is there other solution? Can I map lid contact to c.us contact by using return result of getContacts()

Maybe it is possible, but getContacts represents the numbers that are registered/saved on your number, while chat can be a mixture of both, so this can depend on the conditions.

You can see one of the changes to the @lid number here:

whatsapp-web.js/src/util/Injected/Utils.js

Lines 661 to 665 in 5438c20

	const wid = window.Store.WidFactory.createWid(contactId);
	let contact = await window.Store.Contact.find(wid);
	if (contact.id._serialized.endsWith('@lid')) {
	contact.id = contact.phoneNumber;
	}

I saw getContacts return all lid and us id account

Same problem here! I solved with:

i created a function to get contact, but you can destructure or use getContact to response of on.('message', payload)

const idUser = payload.from.includes("@lid") ? await this.getNumberOfContactSaved(payload) : payload.from.replace("55", "").replace("@c.us", "");

I don't know if this is the best solution, but it worked for me.

I hope this helps.
