# Changelog — WhatsApp Scammer Tracker

Notable changes to scammercasefile.com and the WhatsApp Web browser extension, newest first.

## 2026-07-23

- Redesigned the browser extension's chat-header lookup badge with five distinct states — checking, reports found, no reports, lookup failed, and unsupported chat (e.g. groups). Checking now visibly disables the badge instead of looking clickable, and a short animation marks the moment a result arrives.

- Fixed a bug where a quoted reply in WhatsApp could get the reporter's own words attributed to the counterpart in the report notes.

- Fixed report-notes extraction so only the counterpart's messages are captured — the reporter's own messages could previously leak in.

- The extension now auto-scrolls a chat to load its full history before filling in report notes, instead of only what was already on screen.

- Report notes can now hold a full conversation — the length limit is aligned with the database's real per-field capacity instead of an arbitrary cap.

- The extension page now offers a direct .zip download and step-by-step manual install instructions while the Chrome Web Store listing is in review.

- Fixed a layout bug leaving a large blank column on the Terms and Privacy pages on wide screens.

- Launched the WhatsApp Web browser extension: a chat-header badge that checks the open number against the case file, and a one-click report button with the conversation pre-filled.

- Added Privacy Policy and Terms of Service pages.

- Expanded the scam-type taxonomy to 15 categories and reclassified existing reports accordingly.

- Rewrote every page's FAQ around real user questions, researched from Reddit and Google's "People also ask".

- Typing a full phone number into the homepage search now jumps straight to that number's case file.

- Hardened the report-submission path and added a database index for faster, newest-first sorting.

## 2026-07-21

- Fixed a bug where copying a phone number out of WhatsApp carried invisible bidi-control characters into report submissions.

- Dependency upgrades and expanded automated test coverage.

## 2026-07-20

- Initial launch: search and browse scam reports by phone number, country, and scam type.

- Added a Markdown twin of every page for AI agents and LLMs, plus an MCP server exposing the same data as tools.

- Integrated Cloudflare Turnstile human verification on the report form.

- Added sitemap.xml, robots.txt, and llms.txt.
