Do you guys know internally (from whatsapp js) which function it calls?

there are unique values in the function ("div._3u328" and "button._3M-N-"). Whoever wanna use the function, has to update that. I did and I also upgraded that as an independent function from sessions

function sendMessage (message) {
  window.InputEvent = window.Event || window.InputEvent;

  var event = new InputEvent('input', {
    bubbles: true
  });

  var textbox = document.querySelector('[role="textbox"][data-tab="10"]');

  textbox.textContent = message;
  textbox.dispatchEvent(event);

  $('[data-testid="send"]').closest("button").click();
}
