OpenAI has introduced an iOS app for ChatGPT, bringing its generative AI-powered chatbot to iPhone users. The app syncs chats across the web, has voice input, and can do almost everything the ChatGPT can do on the web. With the ChatGPT app for iOS, users can get instant and accurate personalised advice or help.
The company promises that an Android version is coming “soon”.
The app is free to use, syncs chat history with the web, and features voice input, supported by OpenAI’s open-source speech recognition model Whisper. The app works on both iPhones and iPads and it can be downloaded from the App Store here.
OpenAI further says that it is rolling out the app in the US first and will expand to other countries “in the coming weeks.”
Till date, the best way to access OpenAI’s language models on mobile has been to use Microsoft’s Bing app, which offers access to the company’s GPT-4-powered chatbot. An official app from ChatGPT also means that it will likely attract some of these users away from Microsoft, which has been using access to its chatbot as a way to lure people toward Bing and Edge.
The launch of an official ChatGPT should also, hopefully, stop people from signing up for the countless spam and fake apps that purport to offer access to the chatbot on mobile.
