This is the code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
contact = ["cristobal de toro", "cristobal", "gonzalo molina"]
text = "Hey, this message was sent using Selenium"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(r"C:\Users\Crist\Downloads\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://web.whatsapp.com")

    Please supply the expected [minimal, reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) (MRE). We should be able to copy and paste a contiguous block of your code, execute that file, and reproduce your problem along with tracing output for the problem points. This lets us test our suggestions against your test data and desired output. We expect you to perform basic diagnosis to include with your post. At the very least, print the suspected values at the point of error and trace them back to their sources. – Prune Mar 19 '21 at 23:04

Try that out, it might help with installing and setting correct path to chromedriver:

Install webdriver-manager package:

pip install webdriver-manager

and add that snipped to file:

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

instead of that line:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(r"C:\Users\Crist\Downloads\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe")
