Since launching on WhatsApp earlier this year, over 50 million users have used ChatGPT to chat, create, and learn directly within the popular messaging platform. OpenAI highlighted that the simplicity and familiarity of messaging made WhatsApp “a natural home for everyday creativity and curiosity.”
However, the company confirmed that a recent policy change from WhatsApp will make it impossible to continue operating ChatGPT within the platform.
