ChatGPT and Copilot to Exit WhatsApp

chatgpt and Copilot are pulling out of WhatsApp.this move is to comply with changes to Meta’s policy.

Many AI services integrated their chatbots within WhatsApp, allowing users to access AI models directly within teh messaging app. This included Microsoft copilot, Opic’s AAIP, and Perplexity. Meta’s own AI is deeply integrated into WhatsApp.

The Verge reports that WhatsApp announced changes to its terms a month ago. You can review the new Business Solution Terms here. These changes impact how third-party developers can use the platform, and OpenAI and Microsoft have decided to remove their integrations rather than comply.

The exact details of the policy changes aren’t fully clear, but thay appear to restrict the types of services that can operate within WhatsApp’s Business Platform. This impacts the ability of AI chatbots to function as intended. Both OpenAI and Microsoft confirmed the removal of their integrations.

Users who currently have access to ChatGPT or Copilot within WhatsApp will likely lose access soon. The timing of the removal isn’t precisely defined, but it will happen in the coming days. This means you’ll need to access these AI models through their respective apps or websites.
