New Delhi — : The WhatsApp users can now generate AI images directly through ChatGPT, thanks to a new upgrade rolled out by OpenAI. The update adds powerful image generation capabilities to the existing ChatGPT chatbot on WhatsApp, allowing users to request visual content just like they can on the official app and website.
OpenAI Brings Image Creation to WhatsApp ChatGPT
The image generation feature was officially announced on OpenAI’s verified X account (formerly Twitter). Users can now type prompts in WhatsApp and receive AI-generated images from ChatGPT. Although OpenAI has not released technical specifications, the feature is believed to be powered by the GPT-4o model, the same version used in ChatGPT’s desktop, mobile, and web apps.
This marks a major step forward, as the feature integrates visual content creation directly within WhatsApp conversations, merging convenience with cutting-edge AI.
How Long It Takes and What to Expect
Initial tests show that ChatGPT takes around 2 minutes to generate an image on WhatsApp. The quality of the images matches those produced via other ChatGPT platforms. However, there’s a limitation: users who haven’t linked their OpenAI account to WhatsApp can only generate one image per 24 hours.
For unlimited use, users are encouraged to link their OpenAI account with WhatsApp through the official setup process.
More Than Just Images: What Else ChatGPT Can Do on WhatsApp
Aside from image generation, ChatGPT on WhatsApp can still perform a range of functions:
Answer text-based questions
Generate written content
Analyze images sent by users
Respond to voice messages with text replies
However, it’s important to note that web browsing is still not supported. This means ChatGPT on WhatsApp cannot provide real-time updates or information on live events.
How to Start Using ChatGPT on WhatsApp
To use ChatGPT on WhatsApp:
Save the number +1-800-242-8478 (1-800-ChatGPT) in your phone contacts.
Open WhatsApp and refresh your contact list.
You’ll now see ChatGPT available as a contact. Start chatting by typing your prompt.
The integration offers seamless functionality for anyone looking to generate images, write content, or get smart replies inside WhatsApp.
This latest feature rollout puts OpenAI’s ChatGPT one step closer to becoming a fully integrated personal assistant across the world’s most-used messaging platforms.
