ChatGPT Returns to WhatsApp for EEA Users and Expands to Kakao and Viber

What's new

• WhatsApp EEA restoration: ChatGPT available again for European WhatsApp users after a 6-month absence; an EU preliminary injunction against Meta's API policy forced the reinstatement
• Kakao expansion: ChatGPT available on Kakao Talk (dominant messenger in South Korea, 50M+ users)
• Viber integration: available on Viber globally
• No account required: no OpenAI account needed — just message the verified +1-800-CHATGPT contact
• Features: image uploads, voice notes, image generation, multilingual conversation
• Optional account linking: available for higher usage limits

Why it matters

Expansion to messenger platforms lowers the barrier for hundreds of millions of users who don't use web apps. The EEA return signals OpenAI has resolved regulatory friction with the EU regarding Meta's data policy.
