All WhatsApp users unlock free ChatGPT perk inside app – but you’ll have to enter special code to find it on your phone

WHATSAPP users can unlock a handy new ChatGPT feature directly within the messaging app.

The popular AI platform was added as a free chatbot to WhatsApp at the end of 2024, allowing users to ask questions and start a conversation.

Anyone can access ChatGPT via WhatsApp by entering a secret code.

You simply need to add 1-800-CHATGPT as a contact.

But today the feature gets an enhancement, creators OpenAI exclusively revealed to The Sun.

ChatGPT on WhatsApp now has the ability to generate images.

There are two ways you can do this.

Either, ask for any image you want by typing it out.

Or, you can upload a photo from your camera roll and describe how you’d like to transform it.

Users without a ChatGPT account can generate one image per day, with the option to link a ChatGPT account for additional images.

Those who link their existing account will have higher usage limits per day.

It comes only a few months after OpenAI added shopping features to ChatGPT.

I tried out ChatGPT’s new image generation within WhatsApp and it came back with some fun results.

I uploaded a photo of myself on holiday and asked it to turn the image into a cartoon.

“Got it – I’m working on creating that image but it might take a bit,” ChatGPT responded.

“I’ll send it as soon as it’s ready.”

Three minutes later and it came back with the pretty cool image seen here.
