So i have ask this question a few days ago and i have had an answer from @JonB and the solution works quite well just by switching the user agent.credits to JonB,but there is this one issure remain and that is if i refresh the page,or if i log out from the whatsapp after login the problem comes back,tho one thing for sure the user agent have changed because i print out the user agent.i have a video(link) and code with some explaination clipped with this question to make things more clear.

import sys
from PySide6.QtCore import QUrl
from PySide6.QtWidgets import *
from PySide6.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView

class Widgets(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        QMainWindow.__init__(self)
        self.setWindowTitle("Simple Web Browser")
        self.widget = QWidget(self)
        
        self.webview = QWebEngineView()
        #change the user agent
        self.webview.page().profile().setHttpUserAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.5414.75 Safari/537.36")
        #the link to whatsapp web
        self.webview.load(QUrl("https://web.whatsapp.com/"))

        self.check_button = QPushButton("Refesh")
        self.check_button.clicked.connect(self.button_clicked)

        self.toplayout = QHBoxLayout()
        self.toplayout.addWidget(self.check_button)
       
        self.layout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.layout.addLayout(self.toplayout)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.webview)
        
        self.widget.setLayout(self.layout)
        self.setCentralWidget(self.widget)

    def button_clicked(self):
        #reload the webpage
        self.webview.reload()
        #print out the  user agent
        print(self.webview.page().profile().httpUserAgent()+"\n")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = Widgets()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

What exactly do you want to achieve here? I'm not sure I understand what the problem is.
