Hello, I'm new using GitHub. I've faced the same issue these last days.
I found a solution in other repo using selenium with whatsapp web (can't find it now).

In the whatsapp.py file, on send_message definition (and others that can need to be solved) change
search = self.browser.find_element(*WhatsAppElements.search)
By
search = self.browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="side"]/div[1]/div/label/div/div[2]')

Furthermore, it is needed to change ._1awRl in line 36 by the CSS element that is being used now (._3LX7r).

Hope I've been helpful

@liberticl

Thanks man it`s worked but i think that there is more missed elements such as in :

Send image error :
Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".bDS3i > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) > span:nth-child(1)"} (Session info: chrome=88.0.4324.182) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.41.578737 (49da6702b1de0f6c197e),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86)

Fix it by replace :
attach_icon = (By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".bDS3i > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) > span:nth-child(1)")
with :
attach_icon = (By.CSS_SELECTOR, "._2C9f1 > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) > span:nth-child(1)")

Send file error :
Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[4]/div/header/div[3]/div/div[2]/span/div/div/ul/li[3]/button/input"} (Session info: chrome=88.0.4324.182) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.41.578737 (49da6702b1de0f6c197e),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86)

i think it`s need more work on fixing those elements !

I appreciate your hard work for supporting this script

I suggest to add function to Send Anonymous picture using this code :
# Send Anonymous Picture

    def send_file_x(self, phone, text,picture_location, caption=None):
        payload = urlencode({"phone": phone, "text": text, "source": "", "data": ""})
        print (payload)
        self.browser.get("https://web.whatsapp.com/send?"+payload)
        time.sleep(1)
        try:
            Alert(self.browser).accept()
        except:
            print("No alert Found")
            time.sleep(5)
        try:
            send_file_xpath = '/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/span/div/span/div/div/div[2]/span/div/div/span'
            attach_type_xpath = '/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[4]/div/footer/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div/span/div/div/' \
                                'ul/li[1]/button/input'
            # open attach menu
            attach_btn = self.browser.find_element(*WhatsAppElements.attach_icon)
            attach_btn.click()
            # Find attach file btn and send screenshot path to input
            time.sleep(1)
            attach_img_btn = self.browser.find_element_by_xpath(attach_type_xpath)
            # TODO - might need to click on transportation mode if url doesn't work
            attach_img_btn.send_keys(picture_location)           # get current script path + img_path
            time.sleep(1)
            if caption:
                caption_xpath = "/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/span/div/span/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/span/" \
                                "div/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[1]/div[2]"
                send_caption = self.browser.find_element_by_xpath(caption_xpath)
                send_caption.send_keys(caption)
            send_btn = self.browser.find_element_by_xpath(send_file_xpath)
            send_btn.click()
            time.sleep(5)
            self.browser.quit()
        except (NoSuchElementException, ElementNotVisibleException) as e:
            print(str(e))
