The response returned by the update method is an instance of Saloon\Http\Response. You may use the json method to retrieve the response:

Saloon Response

/** @var \Saloon\Http\Response $response */

$response->status(); // 200
$response->json();   // ["success" => true]

Phone Address Book Update Note

• If you have multiple WhatsApp apps installed on your phone, the API might only work with one account.
• You may need to make a few API requests with the same parameters and wait a few seconds between requests to update your phone address book.
