Google’s Gemini Nano Banana has taken the internet by storm, flooding Instagram, WhatsApp, and X (formerly Twitter) timelines with hyper-realistic portraits and viral trends.

However, what many might not be aware of is that this cutting-edge AI tool can be accessed directly on WhatsApp for free, thanks to an integration by AI startup Perplexity.

The announcement was made by Perplexity on X, with co-founder and CEO Aravind Srinivas resharing the update.

What is Gemini Nano Banana?

Gemini Nano Banana is Google’s latest AI image-generation model powered by the Gemini 2.5 Flash engine.

Known for its jaw-dropping 4K portraits and vibrant festival edits, the model produces content so sharp it rivals professional photography.

How to use Gemini Nano Banana on WhatsApp for free

1. Save the bot number +1 (833) 436-3285 as “Perplexity AI Bot.”
2. Now, open WhatsApp, start a chat, and type a detailed prompt or upload an image. 
3. Within seconds, the bot replies with a fully generated AI image you can save or share.

For now, the feature is free, though Perplexity hints that paid tiers may be introduced later, similar to Google’s credit system.

Early users report no limits unless they overuse the bot, making it ideal for casual experimentation.

How did Nano Banana become so popular so fast?

Unlike other AI platforms, WhatsApp integration makes Nano Banana effortless to use.
