Describe the bug

Hey,

when i try to get any informations about a contact via getContactById which i messaged first (number in phone book, I've already added a contact) The value of isMyContact is very variable, sometimes true and sometimes false.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a known bug? Or is there a better way to tell if this id has been added as a contact?

Thanks in advance!

let contact= await client.getContactById("[email protected]");
console.log(contact);

isMyContact=true

you have to open and close the script
to get new data, because contact synchronization doesn't work on WhatsApp web
i also use function getContactById to sync people api
