Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes when my phone got disconnected like when wifi goes out of range and data is off or when whatsapp is killed by battery saver, I didn't realize and missed many important messages.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be cool to be notified when it happens so I don't miss any messages.

WALC now shows a notification if PC goes offline or WhatsApp Web Server is not accessible due to some reason. Same for mobile still needs to be done.

I think it's better to display the custom offline page only when the page can't load. If the page is already loaded and the network goes offline, let the page be. It's simpler and faster to let whatsapp handle it on its own. Reloading the page takes more time than simply reconnecting.

@Zzombiee2361 I like your suggestion. I will implement it.

Bump! Are you currently working on this? I'd like to try implementing this myself if you're not.

Also, the custom offline page is blindly bright when dark mode is enabled, you might wanna change that.

I am not currently working on this due to some constraints on my side. You are free to give it a try. Draft a pull request an I will attach this issue to that PR.

Here is a sample you can use after finding the CSS selector that WhatsApp is using to show the "Phone not connected" banner:

const KEEP_PHONE_CONNECTED_IMG_SELECTOR = '[data-asset-intro-image="true"]';
page.waitForSelector(KEEP_PHONE_CONNECTED_IMG_SELECTOR, { timeout: 0 }).then(()=> {
// Your Code here
});

Hi @cstayyab

The icon on the tray menu is showing that I have new messages even though I've muted all me chats, while on web.whatsapp it doesn't show notifications for muted chats.

this image is when I unmuted one of my chats... 👇

it's supposed to show notifications only for unmuted chats, right?

thanks for your time and effort 🌹 🌹

Hello @AlwaysBeCalm

I implemented this feature and it is intended that way, kinda like telegram desktop does, although telegram tray badge is colored gray when there's unread only on muted chats. Do you want similar behavior or just not count the muted chats?

Btw this is not a relevant issue, you should open a new issue or comment on #26

@Zzombiee2361
I think it's best to be optional like Telegram.

Thanks
