Not long ago, I made a post on Facebook where I shared ChatGPT’s WhatsApp number. For several months now, you can actually chat with ChatGPT directly on WhatsApp.What’s new is that, beyond just creating images, OpenAI’s AI can now have real conversations with you inside the world’s most popular messaging app: WhatsApp.

Why WhatsApp Is Pushing AI Even Further
WhatsApp already has more than 2 billion users worldwide, but the platform keeps adding fresh features to keep us hooked. Recently, several AI-powered tools have rolled out, like:
- Generative AI searches
- Meta AI, a built-in virtual assistant inside chats
- And now… the chance to talk with ChatGPT, Meta’s direct AI rival.
So, How Do You Talk to ChatGPT on WhatsApp?
The process is actually pretty simple, but a little unexpected. As Les Numériques pointed out, there’s no special button or hidden setting. Instead, you just need to add ChatGPT like a regular contact.
Here’s how:
- Tap the + in the top right corner.
- Choose New Contact.
- Create a contact card with the name ChatGPT.
- Enter this number: 18002428478 (⚠️ don’t add prefixes like +33, +250, etc.).
- Save the contact.
- Open WhatsApp and start chatting with ChatGPT just like you would with a friend.
Always There for You
Let’s be honest: many times when we want to talk, our friends aren’t available — they’re busy, tired, or simply don’t want to be disturbed. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is always ready. 24/7, it’s there to listen, to reply, and to chat with you about almost anything.
This World,
