OpenAI has introduced a new feature that allows WhatsApp users to generate AI images directly through ChatGPT. The feature is live now and works by texting the official ChatGPT WhatsApp number, +1-800-242-8478, or by using the link wa.me/18002428478.
With this update, anyone can start a chat on WhatsApp and describe the image they want. ChatGPT will then generate the requested image within minutes. This means users no longer need to switch to other apps or websites to create AI images.
Free users can typically make one image request per day. If users link their ChatGPT account to WhatsApp, they can request up to 10 images per day without any fees. Those with Plus or Pro subscriptions may enjoy even higher limits.
The image generation uses advanced AI technology from ChatGPT-4, ensuring high-quality visuals that match user descriptions. Besides creating new images, users can also edit or transform existing images by sending them to the chatbot on WhatsApp.
To access more features and increase daily limits, users are encouraged to link their ChatGPT accounts through a secure login.
This new feature is already available in the US, UK, India, Canada, and several other countries. While a few users have faced minor rollout issues, the feature generally works well and offers a smooth experience for generating AI visuals directly within WhatsApp.
With this move, OpenAI positions ChatGPT as a more complete creative tool, making AI-generated visuals more accessible to everyday users around the world.
