New Feature: ChatGPT Now Creates AI Images Directly in WhatsApp

Artificial intelligence continues to make its way into everyday life: From now on, WhatsApp users worldwide can create AI-generated images directly in the chat.

The image function is based on the well-known AI chatbot ChatGPT and has been integrated directly into WhatsApp by OpenAI. Users simply need to save the number +1 800 242–8478 as a contact and start the chat. The image request is then made via text input or by uploading a photo that is to be modified as desired.

How the New Image Function Works

After starting the conversation with ChatGPT, a description such as "a dreamy image of a cat in anime style" is sufficient, and a few seconds later, the AI delivers the appropriate image directly in the chat. Alternatively, you can send your own photo, which will be edited according to specific guidelines. Image variants or subsequent adjustments are also possible, with a new image being generated each time.

Usage Limits and Subscription Models

For users without a linked OpenAI account, image generation is currently limited to one image per day. By signing in with an existing ChatGPT account, these limits can be expanded. In some cases, up to 50 images per day are even possible.

Data Protection Remains a Central Issue

The integration of AI features into a popular messenger service naturally raises questions about data protection. OpenAI explicitly advises against sharing confidential information or sensitive images through the service. Uploaded content is transmitted to servers in the USA for processing.

Creative Applications in Everyday Life

With the new feature, creative ideas can be quickly implemented – whether for invitations, greeting cards, or spontaneous image greetings. Companies that use WhatsApp for customer contact could also benefit from this feature, for example, through personalized image responses or visual support during consultations.

Guide: How Image Generation with ChatGPT in WhatsApp Works

To create an AI-generated image directly in WhatsApp, users save the international number +1 800 242–8478 (1-800-ChatGPT) as a new contact. After that, you can start a conversation just like with any other chat person. In the chat, a simple text description – such as "A robot on a mountain peak at sunset" – or uploading your own photo with a request for changes is sufficient. ChatGPT's artificial intelligence analyzes the input and then generates a suitable image. The result is displayed directly in the chat. For users without a linked OpenAI account, usage is currently limited to one image per day.
