EU Commission targets Meta's blockade of rival AI chatbots on WhatsApp

Because Meta is a "gatekeeper" of a large platform according to the Digital Markets Act, it must allow integrations with WhatsApp. Currently, the Meta AI chatbot has an advantage within WhatsApp. It is a separate button within the application just above the shortcut key for writing a message. The European Commission wants to change this. It seems that the European government agency is aiming for a solution similar to what once applied to internet browsers on Windows: a selection screen.

ChatGPT and Copilot are being booted out of WhatsApp

OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft's Copilot are both leaving WhatsApp thanks to upcoming changes to the messaging app's terms of service that will prohibit using it to distribute AI chatbots not made by Meta. OpenAI announced its planned departure a few weeks ago, with Microsoft following it this week. Both companies attributed the departures to Meta's new terms of service for WhatsApp Business Solution, which come into effect on January 15th, 2026, and said the chatbots will remain accessible in WhatsApp until that date.
