OpenAI launches an iOS app for ChatGPT

You’ll now have easy access to ChatGPT from your iPhone. OpenAI announced Thursday it was launching a ChatGPT app.

Basically, the app promises to put the generative AI chatbot in your pocket.

“We’re starting our rollout in the US and will expand to additional countries in the coming weeks,” OpenAI said in a statement. “We’re eager to see how you use the app. As we gather user feedback, we’re committed to continuous feature and safety improvements for ChatGPT.”

The app was available for download on the App Store shortly after the announcement.

The app is free to use and will sync your history with ChatGPT across devices. It also uses OpenAI’s speech-recognition system Whisper to integrate voice input. Those subscribed to ChatGPT Plus will get all the exclusive Chat GPT-4 capabilities on iOS as well.

The app will certainly make using ChatGPT easier for most folks, since we’re constantly on our phones. OpenAI wrote in their statement that it had “heard from users that they love using ChatGPT on the go” from Day 1. Those folks have gotten their wish.
