I suggest using Selenium.WebDriver instead of relaying on the UI to open up. That way you can use Headless browser and automate messages without having the web page to visibly open.

Hey @shadowfax-ng, thanks for reporting the bug. Here are a few things you can follow:

Do not use your mouse or keyboard while the script is running.

Open the folder where pywhatkit is installed. If you have installed it in a virtual environment it will be venv\Lib\site-packages\pywhatkit\core. Open the core.py file and edit lines 63 and 65. Increase the time of 7s to 9 or more.

.

This solution did not solve the issue. For the message to send i need to click the whatsapp sent message icon

We are trying to find a permanent solution to this problem. Thanks for bearing with us!

Why we used coordinates to click enter button to send the message?. Instead .can we try finding something tag tags or attributes using some xpath or similar in entire screen and then try to click on. Just a thought, Not sure will that work or not.
