Android users to keep waiting as OpenAI launches ChatGPT App for Apple iOS

OpenAI, the leading artificial intelligence research organization, has taken another significant step in advancing conversational AI technology with the launch of its highly anticipated ChatGPT app for Apple iOS.

“Since the release of ChatGPT, we’ve heard from users that they love using ChatGPT on the go,” the announcement says. “Today, we’re launching the ChatGPT app for iOS.”

The release of this app brings OpenAI’s cutting-edge language model directly to iPhone and iPad users, empowering them to engage in natural and dynamic conversations with an AI assistant.

However, the company explained in its statement that it would make the program available on Android soon. “Android users, you’re next! ChatGPT will be coming to your devices soon”, it further stated.

The new ChatGPT app is free to download on the App Store. It incorporates Open AI’s  Whisper, their open-source speech-recognition system, enabling voice input for the app. In addition, current ChatGPT Plus subscribers get “exclusive access to GPT-4’s capabilities,” early access to iOS features and faster response times.

ChatGPT is a cutting-edge language model that can comprehend and produce text answers that resemble those of a human being. It was trained on a large corpus of different internet material. Thanks to the new software, users may now enjoy ChatGPT’s power on their iOS devices, making it more available and practical than ever.

“We’re starting our rollout in the US and will expand to additional countries in the coming weeks. 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.”
