ChatGPT and Perplexity WhatsApp Numbers in Albania: What You Need to Know (and Why Patoko Users Should Care)

If you’ve been online lately, you’ve probably seen the news: ChatGPT and Perplexity AI are now available on WhatsApp. While Patoko doesn’t integrate with these services (yet), we’re always looking out for new tech that makes life easier for our users and this is one trend worth paying attention to.

Why? Because using AI inside WhatsApp brings two major benefits:

• Lower data usage – WhatsApp consumes less data than web or app browsing, which is perfect for travelers or anyone on limited plans.
• End-to-end encryption – Conversations are private and secure, meaning you can feel comfortable asking anything.
• No Download Needed – Instead of keeping track of an app, you can handle your chatbot needs from WhatsApp. (Replace the ChatGPT App With Patoko!)

Here’s how you can get started with both AI tools today.

How to Use ChatGPT on WhatsApp

1. Add the contact – Save +1-800-242-8478 as ChatGPT.
   
2. Open WhatsApp – Launch WhatsApp on your phone or desktop.
   
3. Find the contact – Search for ChatGPT in your WhatsApp contacts.
   
4. Start chatting – Send a message and ChatGPT will reply instantly.

Things to keep in mind:

• Look for the verified badge to confirm it’s the official ChatGPT account.
  
• This is an experimental service, so features may change.
  
• Linking your OpenAI account gives you more features, but advanced tools (like file uploads) still work best in the ChatGPT app or website.

Bonus: You can add Custom GPTs too if you are looking for specialized agents

How to Use Preplexity AI on WhatsApp

For those who haven’t tried before the power of Perplexity before, you can now do it without even downloading the app.

Limitations of Using ChatGPT and Perplexity on WhatsApp

While having AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity directly in WhatsApp is convenient, there are some important limitations to keep in mind:

1. Limited Features Compared to Apps/Web
   • You cannot upload files, images, or documents.
   • Advanced tools such as code generation, custom instructions, or personalized memory aren’t fully supported.
2. Experimental Service
   • These WhatsApp integrations are still in testing. Features may change, become temporarily unavailable, or require updates without notice.
3. Message Limits & Response Speed
   • Responses can be slower during peak usage.
   • There may be limits on the number of messages per day or per session.
4. Account Integration Required for Full Experience
   • Linking your OpenAI account (for ChatGPT) provides access to more advanced features. Without it, you’re using a basic version.
5. Data Considerations
   • WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted, but message content may still be logged by the AI provider for service improvement. Avoid sharing sensitive personal information.
