Hi, @bekbolsky. I see that we may be facing some backward compatibility on Selenium versions. I’ve set a quick general fix that may help you with text messages sending: the just_type_and_send_message method. Recommended usage:

            messenger = WhatsApp()
            messenger.find_by_username("John")
            messenger.just_type_and_send_message("Bla\nBla\nBla")
            messenger.browser.quit()

Please, let us know if that works as expected. Thanks a lot for reporting the issue!
