According to Microsoft Copilot (@Copilot) on Twitter, Copilot will no longer be available on WhatsApp starting January 15th, 2026, due to WhatsApp's updated policies restricting large language model (LLM) chatbots on its platform (source: @Copilot, Nov 24, 2025). This move highlights a growing trend of major messaging platforms tightening regulations around AI chatbot integrations. For AI businesses, this shift presents new opportunities to focus on developing standalone AI apps and web-based LLM solutions. Companies leveraging Copilot are encouraged to transition to the Copilot app on mobile, Windows, or the web, emphasizing a broader market for cross-platform AI productivity tools and the increasing importance of proprietary AI environments (source: @Copilot, Nov 24, 2025).
