OpenAI is rolling out its new GPT-4o mini model on WhatsApp, which feels incredibly fast in real-world usage. Below, we walk you through the simple steps to get ChatGPT up and running in your WhatsApp contacts.
How to Get ChatGPT on WhatsApp
1. Save ChatGPT’s Contact
First things first, you need to add ChatGPT’s official WhatsApp contact to your phone.
Open your phone’s Contacts app.
Save the number “1-800-242-8478”.
You can name it something like “ChatGPT (Official)” for easy identification.
2. Scan the QR Code (Alternative Method)
If you’d rather skip saving the number manually, WhatsApp also offers a quick way to add new contacts by scanning QR codes.
- Open WhatsApp on your phone.
- Tap the “+” icon (usually found at the bottom-right corner on most devices).
- Select “New Contact” or directly tap the QR code icon if you see it.
- Scan the QR code below to instantly add ChatGPT to your WhatsApp.
3. Start Chatting with ChatGPT
Once ChatGPT is added as a contact, open the newly created chat and start conversing—just like you would with any friend or family member. For instance, you can ask it to write a recipe for an egg sandwich, brainstorm ideas for your next blog post, or even have a quick trivia session. The response speed is impressively fast, and you don’t have to fiddle with account connections or logins.
Early Observations and Features
- Fast Responses: The GPT-4o mini model feels light and speedy, making conversations smooth.
- No Sign-ups or Account Linking: You don’t need to log in or link your existing OpenAI account.
- Completely Free and Global Availability: There are no subscription barriers, and it’s available in all regions at launch.
- Direct Call Support: In addition to texts, you can also give ChatGPT a quick call for voice-based interactions.
Limitations (for Now)
While it’s an impressive leap to see ChatGPT on WhatsApp, there are still a few limitations to note:
- No Multimodal Queries: ChatGPT on WhatsApp currently cannot generate or process images, PDFs, or other visual content.
- No Image Generation: You’re limited to text-based conversations only.
- Future Premium Features: In time, users will be able to link their ChatGPT accounts to unlock premium or advanced capabilities.
What’s Next?
OpenAI has hinted that more features are on the way, including multimodal queries and the ability to handle richer media types. By allowing account linking, you’ll soon be able to use personalized settings and premium features right within WhatsApp.
That’s all it takes! You’re now all set to enjoy the official ChatGPT experience on WhatsApp. Feel free to ask it questions, chat casually, or use it to streamline your daily tasks. The fact that you can do all this without extra sign-ups or monthly fees makes the entire experience even more appealing.
