OpenAI has made a significant announcement for its popular AI chatbot. The company announced that it will discontinue support for WhatsApp’s ChatGPT integration. ChatGPT will no longer function in Meta’s popular messaging app starting January 15, 2026.

Why is WhatsApp’s ChatGPT integration ending?

According to OpenAI’s statement, this decision stems from a change to WhatsApp’s policies and terms. This change forced OpenAI to discontinue the integration.

This will impact a significant number of users. According to the figures, more than 50 million people were chatting with ChatGPT on WhatsApp to create content and gain information.

One of the most important questions for users is what will happen to their chat history. WhatsApp doesn’t offer native support for transferring these chats. Furthermore, there will be no way to automatically transfer conversations after the deadline.

Fortunately, OpenAI offers a simple solution for migrating your chat history. By opening the 1-800-ChatGPT contact profile in WhatsApp, users will see the option to connect their ChatGPT account. When you use this option, all your WhatsApp conversations will be merged into your main ChatGPT history.
