whatsmeow is a Go library implementing the WhatsApp web multidevice API. It enables Go programs to connect to WhatsApp as a linked device, sending and receiving messages, media, receipts, and managing group state.

Use cases

  • send WhatsApp messages from a Go program
  • build a WhatsApp bot that receives and replies to messages
  • automate WhatsApp group management
  • send media files over WhatsApp programmatically
  • track read receipts and typing notifications
  • sync WhatsApp contact and chat state

When to choose

  • you need programmatic WhatsApp access in Go without an official Business API
  • you want to build bots, bridges, or automation on WhatsApp
  • you need low-level control over the WhatsApp multidevice protocol

When to avoid

  • you need WhatsApp voice or video call support
  • you need to send broadcast list messages
  • you want an officially supported WhatsApp API with guaranteed terms-of-service compliance
  • you're not working in Go
