Problems sending the message

Hello, congratulations on the project, very useful and well implemented. However, I have the following problem.

Here in Brazil, we changed the inclusion of an extra digit on phones, so many people's WhatsApp has changed, however in this tool, when I send it with an extra digit, it is not directed to the correct WhatsApp and does not reach the user, for example, [phone], it was a WhatsApp before being increased by the ninth, with the implementation the number became [phone]. And when the tool sends it to 5511999889988, it doesn't reach the user, only if it is sent by the old one, 551199889988. What could it be?

Strangely, if you use wa.me/[phone], it works and directs you to 551199889988.

WhatsApp web portal doesn't open when our extension is enabled.
