ChatGPT Now Accessible via WhatsApp Worldwide and Landline Phones in the US, Canada By Elets News Network - 19 December 2024

ChatGPT

OpenAI has announced that users in the United States and Canada can now interact with ChatGPT through flip phones and landlines by dialling 1-800-CHATGPT. Each user gets 15 minutes of access per month. No subscription or account is needed, making it convenient to ask questions or explore new language phrases using natural voice conversations.

Using ChatGPT on WhatsApp

For users outside the US and Canada, ChatGPT is now available on WhatsApp. Text 1-800-242-8478 to start using the service. While it answers questions like the app, advanced features like image generation or voice interaction still require the web or official app.


In the future, OpenAI plans to add account authentication for WhatsApp users, along with features like chatting with images and web searches. Currently, similar tools can be accessed on WhatsApp through Meta AI.
