You can now generate images with ChatGPT on WhatsApp - here's how

ChatGPT's image-generating feature is now available through WhatsApp, OpenAI announced in an X post on Monday.

OpenAI first integrated its chatbot with WhatsApp in December, calling the feature 1-800-ChatGPT. WhatsApp users could dial that number (which translates to 1-800-242-8478) to interact with ChatGPT directly from the social messaging platform.
