[ChatGPT to Cease Services on WhatsApp Starting January 15, 2026; Users Can Migrate to the ChatGPT App] According to an announcement from OpenAI, due to changes in WhatsApp's policies and terms, ChatGPT will no longer be available on WhatsApp starting January 15, 2026. OpenAI stated that users can continue conversations on ChatGPT Atlas for iOS, Android, Web, and Mac, with features such as voice interaction, in-depth research, and file uploads. Users can link their phone numbers to their ChatGPT accounts via the URL of the '1-800-ChatGPT' contact in WhatsApp, and chat history will be synced to ChatGPT. After the deadline, WhatsApp conversations will no longer be automatically transferred, and WhatsApp will not support chat exports. OpenAI recommends completing the linking process as soon as possible and has provided guidance in the Help Center.
