Artificial intelligence continues to creep into our daily lives, and now it does so through one of the most popular applications in the world: WhatsApp. OpenAI has taken another step to bring closer ChatGPT to users allowing it to be used directly from WhatsApp, without the need to download any additional app.
The trick? You just have to save a phone number in your phonebook and start chatting as if it were just another contact. Here we explain how to do it and everything you can achieve with this integration on your iPhone.
Use ChatGPT on WhatsApp
Talking with ChatGPT is now as easy as sending a message to a friend. OpenAI has launched this functionality which, in addition to being free, eliminates any barrier for those who are not familiar with the use of additional applications. This is especially useful for people who don’t want to bother with downloads or advanced settings.
The process couldn’t be more direct: just add the official ChatGPT number to your iPhone contacts and start using it from WhatsApp. There is no need to create additional accounts or worry about the interface as it is exactly the same one we use every day. Furthermore, since WhatsApp is a tool that everyone knows, this integration promises to bring artificial intelligence to a much wider audience.
The integration of ChatGPT in WhatsApp offers endless possibilities: write messages and emails adjusting tone or correcting errors, provide personalized ideas for recipes, trips or gifts, solve mathematical calculations with clear explanations, translate texts in real time accurately and answer general questions, from historical data to decorating tips or training. A versatile tool that adapts to any everyday need.
The key is interaction: the more specific your query, the more useful the response will be.
How to configure ChatGPT on WhatsApp
Follow these steps to start using ChatGPT from WhatsApp on your iPhone:
- Open the app Contacts and create a new one by pressing the “+” button.
- In the name field, type ChatGPT.
- Add the official OpenAI number: +1 800 242 8478.
- Save the contact and, in WhatsApp, search for the new contact “ChatGPT”. If it doesn’t appear immediately, close and reopen the app to sync your calendar.
Now you can start a conversation with the chatbot directly from WhatsApp. Type your questions or requests as if you were chatting with a friend and you will receive quick and detailed responses.
Although this integration is practical, it is not perfect. Currently, ChatGPT from WhatsApp cannot process images or voice notessomething that could limit certain interactions. If you need more advanced functions, such as analyzing images or attaching documents, you will have to use the official ChatGPT app.
This new ChatGPT feature in WhatsApp is a significant advance that eliminates barriers to use and brings artificial intelligence to a broader audience. If you haven’t tried ChatGPT yet, this is the perfect opportunity to explore everything it has to offer, without additional downloads or complicated setup. Add it to your agenda and discover everything you can do!
