This Repo is No Longer Work

Unfortunately, due to my limited understanding of Windows Application Frame Window and AHK language, I am unable to continue maintaining this repository. As WhatsApp has made significant improvements to its app, including the ability to run in the background, this repository is no longer relevant.

Thank you to all the users who have supported this project. This repository will be archived soon.
