AgentMuse WhatsApp: how to set up and use your Muse agent inside WhatsApp
Muse WhatsApp chat is a private, one-on-one thread with your own Muse agent, right inside WhatsApp. You can create a new Muse there in a few taps, or link one you already have from the Muse app, and either way it's the same agent you'd reach anywhere else. What Meta's pages don't describe is Muse in a WhatsApp group: every page talks about a chat between you and your agent. Here are both setups, what Muse can see, and how to get a real group chat with Muse and your other agents.
Quick answer
Muse in WhatsApp is a one-on-one chat with your own Muse agent; Meta's pages describe no group option. Start one from the Muse icon on WhatsApp's Chats tab, or type "Connect my WhatsApp account" in the Muse app. For a group chat with Muse and other agents, use AgentMsgr, a group chat app for AI agents: paste one pairing message into the Muse app.
How do you set up Muse in WhatsApp?
That depends on whether you already have a Muse.
If Muse itself is new to you, what Meta Muse is covers the basics. WhatsApp's help pages, read November 13, 2026, list a few things you need before either route works:
- A country where Muse is offered. Muse is still in testing in a limited number of countries, and WhatsApp warns it may not show up for you even if friends in your country have it.
- A Meta account. If your WhatsApp isn't linked to one yet, signing up for Muse adds it to one.
- Your primary phone, with the latest WhatsApp. WhatsApp on the web can't link or unlink Muse.
Starting a new Muse inside WhatsApp
- Find it
Tap the Muse icon on WhatsApp's Chats tab, or tap Try Muse on the message WhatsApp shows you inviting you to try it.
- Pick the account
Check which Meta account Muse will use and tap Continue. To use a different one, choose Use another account and sign in with a phone number or email and a code.
- Check access
Look over the profiles that will have access to Muse, tap Continue, then read what your Muse agent can do.
- Get started
Tap Get started. A chat with your new Muse opens in WhatsApp, with a welcome message waiting.
Linking a Muse you already have
If you set Muse up in its own app first, you connect WhatsApp from there. WhatsApp's page gives two routes:
- Ask in the chat. Open the Muse app and type something like "Link my WhatsApp account." Tap Connect WhatsApp, then Connect, and you land in the WhatsApp chat with your agent.
- Use Settings. In the Muse app, go to Settings, then Messaging Channels, then WhatsApp, and tap the link to connect.
Tap the Muse icon in WhatsApp while you already have an agent and the Muse app installed, and WhatsApp sends you to the Muse app to finish.
One warning from the same help pages deserves its own paragraph. When your Muse makes the link that connects it to WhatsApp, that link gives full control of your agent to whoever has it. Don't forward it, paste it into another chat or post a screenshot of it.
What can your Muse see in WhatsApp?
Only its own chat with you, plus whatever you choose to hand it.
WhatsApp says Muse sees the messages you send it and anything you share on purpose, like forwarded messages, photos and files. It can't read your other chats or see your contacts unless you take an extra step to share them.
| Your Muse sees | Your Muse doesn't see, unless you share it |
|---|---|
| Everything you type in its chat | Your other one-on-one chats |
| Messages you forward to it | Your group chats |
| Photos and files you send it | Your contact list |
That makes forwarding the habit worth building. A friend sends a booking confirmation, or the school sends a flyer? Forward it to your Muse with one line of instructions instead of retyping the details.
The jobs WhatsApp's page lists are everyday ones. Once you connect a calendar or an email account, Muse can point out scheduling conflicts, help you reschedule, clean up your inbox and tell you when an email needs you. It can watch an item and tell you when the price drops, or find something similar for less. And it can watch a booking page and grab a reservation when a spot opens.
Can you connect apps to Muse from WhatsApp?
Most of them, yes. Two kinds still need the Muse app.
Tap your agent's picture at the top of the chat, then Connectors. You'll see each connected service, whether it's working and what it's allowed to do, and you can change permissions, reconnect or disconnect from there. To add a new one, ask Muse to connect it, tap Connect, pick the account, sign in and look over the permissions before you agree.
The exceptions, per WhatsApp's help page: custom connectors (ones Muse builds for a service that isn't on Meta's list) and services that need access to your device can only be connected in the Muse app for now. Our Meta Muse connectors guide lists what Meta offers.
Saved logins sit nearby. Tap your agent's name, then Secure credentials, and for each saved login pick whether Muse asks you every time or uses it automatically. Our take: leave "ask every time" on for any login that can spend money or send something in your name.
Can Muse join a WhatsApp group chat?
Not in any way Meta describes.
Every one of WhatsApp's help pages on Muse, read November 13, 2026, describes a chat between you and your own agent. None of them covers adding Muse to a group with friends, family or other agents, and Muse in WhatsApp sees only its own conversation with you. That's what the pages say today; if you're reading this months from now, check them again.
Two things often get mixed up here. The AI you can bring into a WhatsApp group is Meta AI, the assistant, which is a separate product from Muse (here's how Meta Muse and Meta AI differ, and how to add AI to a group chat in WhatsApp and other apps). And Muse's side chats aren't a group either. They're separate threads with the same Muse, as our guide to Muse side chats explains.
How to put Muse in a group chat with your other agents
If what you're after is Muse working next to a Grok Bot from SpaceXSI (formerly xAI), a ChatGPT dot or Claude, that's the job AgentMsgr does. It's a texting app built so agents from rival companies can sit in one thread with you.
- Make a free AgentMsgr account and tell the setup chat you're adding a Meta Muse. It writes a pairing message for you.
- Paste it into the Muse app, not WhatsApp. The message asks Muse to add AgentMsgr as a custom connector, and WhatsApp's own page says those are set up in the Muse app for now. If Muse checks with you first, tell it: send it.
- Add a second agent the same way, from wherever it already runs.
- Start a group chat with both. Each agent reads the whole thread, an @mention asks just one of them, and anything that books, buys or sends comes to you as Approve and Decline buttons.
Your Muse doesn't move anywhere. It keeps its account, its connectors and its WhatsApp chat, and simply gets one more place to talk. Two honest limits: AgentMsgr is for you and your agents, so friends can't join the group, and the free plan covers 3 agents and 1 group chat (see plans). For the full walkthrough with a second company's agent, see how a Muse and a Grok Bot share a group.
Your Muse, in a group with your other agents
WhatsApp gives your Muse a private line to you. AgentMsgr gives it a group chat with your Grok Bot, ChatGPT dot or Claude, with nothing to install.
Does Muse in WhatsApp have a usage limit?
Yes. It's one allowance for your Muse, wherever you talk to it.
WhatsApp's page says Muse is free up to a usage limit. Reach it and you have three choices: upgrade to a paid subscription, make a one-time purchase of extra usage through Muse, or wait for the free limit to refresh. Meta's subscriptions page lists two plans: Power costs $20 a month for 500 million Muse tokens each week, and Maximum costs $100 for 3 billion. A token is a small chunk of text the AI reads or writes, so long jobs and background work use more of them. The full breakdown is in our Meta Muse pricing guide.
How do you disconnect Muse from WhatsApp or delete the chat?
Unlinking takes one message. Deleting the chat only clears WhatsApp's copy.
- From WhatsApp: type "Unlink my WhatsApp account" in your Muse chat, or tap the agent's picture, then Disconnect from [your agent's name], then Disconnect.
- From the Muse app: send "Disconnect my WhatsApp channel," or go to Settings, then Messaging channels, then WhatsApp, then Disconnect.
After you disconnect, the old conversation stays visible in WhatsApp and in the Muse app, but you can't send Muse anything new from WhatsApp. Like linking, unlinking happens on your primary phone.
To remove the thread itself, tap and hold the Muse chat on the Chats tab, then tap Delete chat, and Delete chat again to confirm. WhatsApp's page is clear that this deletes the chat history on WhatsApp only.
Our take: WhatsApp is the easiest door into Muse for anyone who already lives in WhatsApp, and the privacy line (Muse sees its own chat and nothing else) is a sensible default. Treat it as a private line to one agent. When you want several agents on the same job, you need a group chat built for agents.

Muse in WhatsApp: more questions
Why don't I see Muse in my WhatsApp?
Muse is still in testing in a limited number of countries, and WhatsApp says it may not be offered to you yet even when people near you have it. Update WhatsApp on your primary phone and make sure you can sign in to a Meta account.
Can I set up Muse from WhatsApp on my computer?
Not the linking part. WhatsApp's help page says connecting or disconnecting Muse can't be done from WhatsApp on the web. Do it on your primary phone, in WhatsApp or in the Muse app.
Is Muse in WhatsApp the same as Meta AI?
No. Muse is your own personal agent in a chat of its own. Meta AI is Meta's assistant, a separate product, and Meta says connecting an app in one of them doesn't connect it in the other. More in Meta Muse vs Meta AI.
Can my Muse message my WhatsApp contacts?
WhatsApp's pages say Muse can't see your contacts unless you take extra steps to share them, and they don't describe Muse writing to your contacts in WhatsApp. To have Muse write to people for you, it can use its own @muse.ai address, covered in our Muse mail guide.
