I installed it while I was waiting for the latest iOS update to get ready to install. IT'S FAST! Shockingly so!
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:
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.
- 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.
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]

At this point SO many telemarketers have my phone number I could hardly care less. Starbucks has my phone number... Potbelly's has my number... 800,000 people in call centers around the world have my phone number.
You give it to stores and such for obvious reasons (money), and it's perhaps taken by others, unfortunately. I see no reason here.
And the things the bot can do with a phone number is truly amazing!

I'm very careful of what I run through this app. In a few cases where I wanted it to rewrite some text, I obscured names and other specific information before submitting it.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.
Oddly, I just now searched for "OpenAI" and the first listing is an ad with a clone logo with an AI Chatbot, but the second item is the actual OpenAI ChatGTP listing. After that there are a lot of knock off apps.
You should always ignore the first listing on Apple search. it's not wrong because search is bad, it's wrong because it's a paid listing. sometimes there is a second ad, too.
I've been using the service on the web for a couple of months for free. I think there is probably a limit in queries per day but I haven't hit it yet.
When this first launched today, it wasn;t listed on the first three pages.
Looks like it has moved up.
Yep, name, email, phone number, date of birth, data linked to you includes contact info, user content, identifiers, usage data, diagnostics.
The amount of data they want, track and tie to you is unnecessary and extremely off-putting.
Its NOT US only,..its available to anyone in the world who has a US iTunes account, Lol...so I guess your NOT the "most important market" after all 🤦♂️
I'm not to sure why everyone is rushing to get it, as it's no different and less functional than other free Gpt apps. 🤷♂️
Microsoft is rumored to acquire OpenAI and already have Bing Chat app for Android which is based on GPT-4. Last I checked free ChatGPT is based on the less capable GPT-3.x so you have to pay for ChatGPT Plus to get GPT-4.

Plus, on Android since it's not gimped like iOS with half the RAM you can run local models up to 7b/13b.
I’m just using Shortcuts you can download them on GitHub then I opened up a paid account and I’m just paying very little really per month I think it was like £4 something and it hasn’t even used all that and it works perfectly it’s not the fastest but it does work and it’s a cost-effective method
I find it rather shocking so many here jump at the chance to not only install this app or one like it, but, also grant it full access to personal information (including phone number) without much apparent care as to the consequences of such actions.
What's the point of getting on Apple and Google et al about privacy and security if one is going to blindly jump into tech space and take actions with some new toy that puts you right into the mess you claimed you wanted to avoid in the first place? If you think Google and FB have been terrible with privacy, their data scraping is nothing compared to what many of you have just dived into.

Not available in Europe, like Apple News, Siri capabilities and other features. See Apple this is why Google wins you in services.
Really bad because we can use ChatGPT web in Europe.

Serious question. Why is there so much hype/focus on ChatGPT? I genuinely don't understand the hype at all. I see people's comments like it can write a blog for me. it wrote a college paper for me, I can ask it for a recipe, I can ask it for scores of a game, etc etc.. Well I'm not a writer and not in college so I don't need papers written for me. And how is asking for sports scores/recipes/travel advice different from just a regular Google search? I see several Reddit posts everyday saying ChatGPT is replacing the need for workers and I just don't understand how. It could just be that I haven't seen an example or something I would need it for that I would consider it "game changing" let alone replacing the "human workforce. Help me understand what am i missing?
Im from the USA and currently in the UK and have downloaded it from the App Store. I guess my app store and region settings are US based as I am currently residing in the UK.
