ChatGPT returns to WhatsApp in Europe after EU pressure

OpenAI has re-enabled ChatGPT on WhatsApp, but only within the European Economic Area (the 27 EU states plus Liechtenstein, Iceland, and Norway). The move follows the EU forcing Meta to open WhatsApp to rival AI chatbots.

Why it matters: It's a concrete example of EU digital regulation reshaping how AI assistants can distribute inside messaging platforms.
