Does not send first message to new contact on Whatsapp. Newly created or installed on a new phone with zero history.

[JuancaArg]

Issue Description

When attempting to send the first message to a new contact, it fails to send, and the sendMessage function returns no error.

Note that the first message was sent using both lid and phonumber@c.us, and both returned a successful delivery result, but the message was not completed.

The lid was obtained with the getContactLidAndPhone function, in addition to that I previously executed the getNumberId function, both returning the same code lid

These cases are being generated in newly created WhatsApp accounts, or reinstalled on the same phone after formatting it without history.

When the contact initiates the conversation, the sending functions begin to run normally.

Reproduction Steps

1. Format the phone that has WhatsApp installed (without a backup) or create a new WhatsApp account with a newly purchased SIM card.

2. Install WhatsApp without a backup.

3. Log in to the library

4. Try sending a message to a new contact (there should be no chat history).

That conditions are not easy to reproduce, and it may not related to the lib. It could be some conditions on Meta servers
