How to set up Chrome for WhatsAppBlaster

Last updated
WhatsAppBlaster works by automating your Chrome browser. It opens the browser, navigates to WhatsApp Web, and sends messages for you—all automatically.
To make this possible, two things are needed:
A Chrome browser to perform the tasks.
A ChromeDriver to control the browser.
The problem? Google updates both Chrome and ChromeDriver frequently. If your browser updates, you also have to update the ChromeDriver to match, which can quickly become a hassle.
The solution? Use a dedicated "testing" Chrome browser. This is a special version of Chrome that’s only used for automation tasks like WhatsApp messaging. Paired with its matching ChromeDriver, this setup eliminates the need for constant updates, making the process much easier.
Follow the steps below to set up your dedicated Chrome browser and ChromeDriver.

Extract the files
Extract the ChromeDriver zip file (chromedriver-win64.zip):
Inside the extracted folder, you’ll find chromedriver.exe.
Extract the Chrome Testing Browser zip file (chrome-win64.zip):
You’ll get a folder called chrome-win64.
Move the Files to Selnium Basic Folder
Open the default Selenium Basic folder:
Replace the existing chromedriver.exe in this folder with the new one from the chromedriver-win64 folder.
Copy the entire chrome-win64 folder into the Selenium Basic folder.
Your folder should now look like this:
Add the Chrome Path to WhatsAppBlaster
