Continuing your ChatGPT experience beyond WhatsApp

Continue your ChatGPT experience beyond WhatsApp

OpenAI said ChatGPT will stop being available on WhatsApp after January 15, 2026, following a WhatsApp policy and terms change. OpenAI said more than 50 million users used ChatGPT on WhatsApp; users must link accounts before the cutoff because chats will not transfer automatically and WhatsApp does not support exports.

Why it matters: This is not a routine feature post but an official OpenAI notice that a 50M-user distribution channel is closing. HKR-H comes from the unexpected WhatsApp exit; HKR-K has the 2026-01-15 cutoff and policy-change cause; HKR-R hits platform dependency and migration risk.
