Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/guyzyl/whatsapp-contact-sync/issues/225

Hi,

I successfully built and ran the Docker container. The web interface loads, and the WhatsApp QR code appears correctly. However, after scanning the QR code, the status stays at: WhatsApp authorizing

I’ve tried:

  • Rebuilding the Docker image from scratch
  • Clearing browser cache and cookies
  • Checking container logs — no errors related to WhatsApp initialization

Environment:

Docker version: latest
Node version in container: 21-alpine
Browser: Chrome/Firefox (latest)
OS: w11

Could you please advise what might be causing the authorization to get stuck after scanning the QR code?

Thank you!

Is your phone getting locked in the process? It might cause WhatsApp to not authorize.

In addition to that, there are some issues that recently arose specifically around the WhatsApp API.
Unfortunately I do not have time to investigate them, so I hope you figure it out and get it to work!

@guyzyl I know you said you don't have the time to investigate, but I was able to have it working by downgrading whatsapp-web.js to 1.23.0. Not sure why :/

Might be useful to others as well
