OpenAI Launches Official ChatGPT App for iPhone and iPad

[MacRumors]

OpenAI today announced the launch of an official ChatGPT app for the iPhone and the iPad. OpenAI's ChatGPT has been accessible on the web and has been made available on iOS through multiple third-party apps, many of which are little better than scam apps, but this legitimate version will give users a safe way to use ChatGPT on the go.

ChatGPT is an AI-based chatbot that uses generative artificial intelligence to answer questions and provide advice on all manner of subjects. OpenAI says that ChatGPT can help with all of the following:

• Instant answers: Get precise information without sifting through ads or multiple results.
• Tailored advice: Seek guidance on cooking, travel plans, or crafting thoughtful messages.
• Creative inspiration: Generate gift ideas, outline presentations, or write the perfect poem.
• Professional input: Boost productivity with idea feedback, note summarization, and technical topic assistance.
• Learning opportunities: Explore new languages, modern history, and more at your own pace.

History is synced across devices, so you can see your ChatGPT interactions both on the web and on iOS devices, and it integrates the Whisper speech recognition system.

As of right now, ChatGPT for iOS is limited to the United States, but OpenAI plans to bring it to additional countries in the coming weeks. The company says that the app will see continuous feature and safety improvements based on user feedback.

The ChatGPT app is free to use, but it does cost $19.99 per month for the ChatGPT Plus service. That is the same price available through the web, with Plus providing availability even when demand is high, faster response times, and priority access to new features such as GPT-4, the more advanced version of ChatGPT.

An OpenAI account is required to use the ChatGPT app, and it can be downloaded from the App Store. [Direct Link]

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Seems like a good app but I seem to be having trust issues with this App. Personal data to be specific..

Not sure what to do about that.

Same question. Hope it’s temp…

 

[mattopotamus]

gotta try to compete with google's recent updates. I find google much better being tied to the web with updated data.

 

[winxmac]

Not available for anything older than iOS 16.1

Same. They seem to collect a bunch of personal data, too.

 

[airwalk331]

I can't set it up because it wants to text me a code to verify my account but I never get the text and there's no way to have them send an automated call instead...

 

[TechieGeek]

It’s a shame the App Store promotes so many unofficial apps higher when you search “ChatGPT”, god knows what these unofficial apps are doing with your data

 

[armhol]

Not available in the UK.

Is this a joke? That’s the least amount of personal data an app could gather….

OpenAI said they're working on an Android version and will be released soon

Interesting.
A search in the App Store does not bring this up at all in the first three pages.
The Direct Link works.

 

[Macalway]

Odd, a search with my phone doesn't locate it in the App Store, so I had to use the direct link in the article.

Actually, the least amount of data an app can gather is zero. This wants 5.

5 > 0

Look at some of the other ChatGPT powered apps such as Genie - AI Chatbot. It only uses one data to track you... Identifiers. No "Contact Info." No "User Content"

 

[Zeca]

USA only!!

 

[dk001]

Just got a notice that they flagged my account for potential abuse, haven't used it yet because I asked it to resend the verification code. And it doesn't resend.

Chuckle

Never realized how bad the App Store's search function is. I typed "OpenAI", "Open AI", "Open A.I.", "ChatGPT" and none of the top 5 results were for this.

Yeah, when I did a search for "OpenAI," "ChatGPT," or OpenAI ChatGPT" a bunch of garage apps came up first.

I don't know how far down I scrolled before I gave up and used a direct link to look at (not download) it.

Apple must be bringing in a lot of $$$ from people downloading those unofficial ChatGPT apps and making in-app purchases through them.

 

[dumastudetto]

USA only!!

Starting with the most important market makes sense. In the coming months/years, it will be rolled out to more countries

Use the link in the article

US-only, iOS-16-only, iPhone-only, I guess I’ll just continue using the web app.
