Thank you very much for this App and all your time on developing it,  
It works very well for text messages. Pictures and Emoji answers are not displayed.  
After a few tries to find out, that I have to be the admin of the group, I managed to connect to the groups I wanted.  
If I connect a chat with the widget on the Start page and then the same chat with another code on a Flowchart, only one widget is maintained.

@Dietrich_Kassner yes the admin part is described in the FAQ of this topic: [[APP][Pro] WhatsApp - Simple. Reliable. Private - #4 by martijnpoppen](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-whatsapp-simple-reliable-private/90749/4)

So you want to have the same chat on multiple widgets? That should work…  
Can you send a diagnostic report

Diagnostic report is on the way.

I recognised, that both widgets work until I modified the size of one widget. The modified widget then has to be reconnected.

@Dietrich_Kassner yes as soon as you save a widget the ID is changed so the WhatsApp loses it’s relation to the widget  
That’s homey behaviour can’t change that

Hi Martijn, great app. I want to see if i can create a bot with it. But is there a way to store a phonenumber somewhere and check if this number may be answered.  
For instance: Some gets a reply form the app and answers STOP. IS there a way to store the number and check at the next message if that number is on that list and will not be answered?

Regards Frans
