AI BriefingContinue Your Conversations in the ChatGPT App Beyond WhatsApp
Key point
Due to WhatsApp's policy changes, ChatGPT service within WhatsApp will end as of January 15, 2026.
Details
Due to changes in WhatsApp's policies and terms, ChatGPT will no longer be available on WhatsApp after January 15, 2026.
To preserve their existing conversation history, users must switch to the ChatGPT app (iOS, Android, Web, ChatGPT Atlas for MacOS) and link their account. Linking the account connects the phone number to the ChatGPT account, allowing existing WhatsApp conversation history to be viewed in ChatGPT history.
How to link your account:
- Download the ChatGPT app for Android, iOS, or desktop
- Create and log in to a ChatGPT account
- Link the account via the 1-800-ChatGPT contact profile within WhatsApp
After January 15, 2026, conversation history will not be automatically transferred, so early linking is recommended. The ChatGPT app offers more extensive features, including voice conversations, Deep Research, and file uploads.
