Copilot WhatsApp Shutdown: What to Expect & Alternatives

Copilot to ‍End WhatsApp Integration in 2026, Users Must Export Chat History

Users‌ of the Copilot AI assistant on WhatsApp need to⁣ be aware of upcoming changes: the ⁤service will⁢ be discontinued on ‍the platform effective January 15, 2026. This ‌shift comes as ‍an inevitable result of WhatsApp policy updates prohibiting large language model (LLM) chatbots. ‍

While⁣ Copilot’s presence on⁤ WhatsApp is ending, the AI remains‌ fully accessible through its ‌dedicated mobile app (iOS and Android), web ​version, and ​Windows application. This transition ensures‍ continued access to​ core ⁤features,alongside advanced tools like Copilot Voice,Copilot Vision,and⁤ Mico. ‌However, due to the unauthenticated nature⁢ of WhatsApp ‌access, users will be⁤ unable to ⁢transfer ⁢their existing chat histories to these alternative platforms and must manually export them before⁣ the January‌ 2026 deadline to preserve⁢ their⁤ conversations.

Copilot will ​continue to operate normally within ⁣WhatsApp for the next year, providing users ⁤time to adjust and migrate​ their data. The discontinuation is a direct outcome of evolving WhatsApp policies, ⁤which now restrict the operation of LLM-based chatbots like⁤ Copilot on its ‌platform.

Users ⁤can find more details about Copilot and its features on the ⁢official website and explore recent updates https://vavoza.com/posts/. For daily business and‌ marketing insights, Vavoza Insider offers a subscription service providing concise news and trends https://vavoza.com/insider/.
