OpenAI’s AI-powered standalone ChatGPT app for iOS users has now made its way to smartphones.
iOS first
The San Francisco-based company has announced its ChatGPT app for iOS and it is free to download and use.
It makes it easier to chat with the bot on the go and incorporates a couple of neat features too.
The iOS app comes with an in-built voice input feature powered by the company’s open-source speech recognition model Whisper.
Synchronisation
It also synchronizes your chat history from the web version of ChatGPT and other devices with your account logged in.
The company claims that the app syncs user history across devices and comes with the latest OpenAI model improvements.
As of now, iOS users can download the app from the App Store in the US, but other countries should get it soon too. The same goes for Android users.
ChatGPT Plus users will get exclusive access to GPT-4’s capabilities, early access to features and faster response times on their iOS devices
Android next
Further, the company will focus on an exclusive app for Android users next.
“With the ChatGPT app for iOS, we’re taking another step towards our mission by transforming state-of-the-art research into useful tools that empower people, while continuously making them more accessible,” the company said in its blog post.
It is currently live in the US and will be rolled out to other countries in the coming weeks.
For iOS users
iOS users will get access to instant responses that come with precise information without ads or multiple results.

For eg., If one runs out of ideas, they simply need to use related prompts and let their imagination take flight.
The app can also be of great help to boost productivity at the professional front, especially for assistance with summarisation, feedback, and help with technical topics.
ChatGPT on your iPhone can also help you learn new skills, languages and more at your own pace.
