WhatsApp offers limited offline access, while ChatGPT (GPT-5) does not.
| Attribute | ChatGPT (GPT-5) | |
|---|---|---|
| Name | ChatGPT (GPT-5) | |
| End-to-end encryption | Employs end-to-end encryption to secure messages, calls, and media, ensuring only the sender and recipient can access the content. | ChatGPT offers end-to-end encryption for all interactions. It can prevent cybercriminals from intercepting and manipulating messages. It ensures data is secure by converting it into an unreadable format, only decryptable by authorized users. |
| Cross-platform compatibility | Available on various platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. | The desktop version offers nearly identical functionality to the web-based iteration. |
| Group call capacity | Supports group video calls with up to 32 participants. | Group call capacity information not available |
| File sharing size limit | Users can share files up to 2GB in size. | All files uploaded to a GPT or ChatGPT conversation have a hard limit of 512MB per file. Spreadsheets (CSV, XLSX) are typically capped at around 50MB, and images are limited to 20MB each. Text and document files are capped at 2 million tokens each for processing. |
| Message editing capabilities | Allows users to edit text messages within 15 minutes of sending them. Edited messages are marked as "edited." | Message editing capabilities information not available |
| AI Model Version | Integrations often leverage models like Google's Gemini Pro 1.5 or OpenAI's GPT-4o. | GPT-5 is the next generation of OpenAI's large language model, succeeding GPT-4 and GPT-4o. |
| Context Retention Window | AI-powered WhatsApp chatbots can retain context from previous interactions within a session. | GPT-5 is rumored to feature a significantly expanded context window, potentially exceeding 1 million tokens. This would allow it to retain information from extended interactions and remember user preferences. |
| Multimodal Input Support | AI models can process various inputs like text, audio (transcription), video (description), and images (analysis). | GPT-5 is expected to have advanced multimodal capabilities, processing text, images, audio, and potentially video inputs. It aims to unify these modalities into a single system for a seamless experience. |
| API Availability | WhatsApp Business API allows developers to integrate AI models into other applications. | OpenAI plans to release GPT-5 for both ChatGPT and the developer API simultaneously. |
| Customization Options | Offers several customization options, including chat themes, wallpapers, and chat bubble colors. | GPT-5 will likely allow users to customize AI behavior with better control over tone, style, personality, and knowledge depth. |
| Data Privacy Policy | Outlines its data practices, emphasizing its commitment to user privacy and data protection measures. | OpenAI has data privacy measures, including data encryption and custom retention policies for enterprise users. They state they don't use data for marketing/advertising or selling information. |
| Offline access | Offers limited offline access through proxy server support. | There is no offline access. |
