ChatGPT Code Points to Built-In WhatsApp Sticker Export
It would let ChatGPT package AI-generated images to push directly into chat apps in a single step and remove the current multi-step sticker workflow.
Overview
- A teardown of the ChatGPT Android app found strings and a working export routine tied to version 1.2026.216, a discovery published on August 7, 2026 by multiple outlets citing Android Authority.
- The app code includes an Android intent action that appears designed to package AI artwork into a WhatsApp-compatible sticker pack and launch the import into the WhatsApp app.
- The code explicitly references WhatsApp’s developer rule with the label “WhatsApp (3 minimum),” reflecting the platform requirement that custom sticker packs must contain between three and thirty stickers.
- If rolled out, the feature would remove the current manual steps of downloading images, removing backgrounds, resizing, and using third-party importers by handling packaging and export inside ChatGPT.
- OpenAI has not announced a release or timeline, and strings like “Add to chat apps” suggest the export flow could be extended to other messaging services in a future update.
