Tab on WhatsApp: Number, Setup and What It Can Do
Yes, Tab works on WhatsApp. Tab’s WhatsApp number is +1 (251) 276-5320, and tab.bot/wa opens a chat with “Hi Tab” ready to send. It is the same Tab as in iMessage, with the same memory, so you can use either one or both.
How to start Tab on WhatsApp
- Go to tab.bot and enter your name and mobile number.
- Choose WhatsApp as where you want to talk.
- Send the one text Tab asks for. That finishes signup.
Already using Tab in iMessage? Add WhatsApp any time in Tab’s settings. Tab writes back wherever you last texted it.
Tab is a private beta with no published price. Signup is open in more than 40 countries.
What you can send Tab on WhatsApp
Photos, videos, voice notes, documents and stickers all reach Tab on WhatsApp, same as in iMessage. You can ask it to:
- Call a hotel, restaurant or doctor’s office and report back.
- Book a table or a flight, or buy something once you approve the total.
- Pull details out of a PDF or a screenshot.
- Make a spreadsheet, an image or a short video.
- Join a group chat. Each group gets its own Tab, and anything with money or passwords moves to your private thread.
What Tab can’t do on WhatsApp
- Take a call. Tab’s calls go out from its own phone number. Its site describes no way to call Tab, and it doesn’t answer your phone.
- Finish every job. Independent testing scored Tab 6.3 overall, with bookings and purchases that stalled before the end (Tab AI review).
- Reach Outlook. Tab connects through one Google sign-in.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
