A few months ago, rumors surfaced that OpenAI was working on a ChatGPT application for mobile users. and now OpenAI has officially released the ChatGPT app for iPhone users to download. But unfortunately, only US users can download the app for now.
ChatGPT is available as a free app on iOS. However, to take advantage of the features of GPT-4, of course, you need to have a Plus subscription. As with ChatGPT on the web, Plus subscribers will have access to new features before regular users on iPhones. The app also syncs history across devices. In short, iPhone users have access to the same experience they have on the web.
As stated by OpenAI, the ChatGPT app for iPhone has the following features:
- Instant answers: Get precise information without seeing ads or reviewing multiple results.
- Specific advice: Ask for help with cooking, travel plans, or thoughtful messages.
- Creative inspiration: Create gift ideas, outline presentations or write the perfect poem.
- Professional inputs: Increase productivity with idea feedback, note summation, and technical topic assistance.
- Learning opportunities: Discover new languages, modern history and more at your own pace.
OpenAI has promised that the app will expand to markets outside the US in the coming weeks. Additionally, the ChatGPT app will reportedly be available “soon” for Android users as well as iPhone users.
Currently, you have to pay $20 per month for a ChatGPT Plus subscription with GPT-4 features. Microsoft’s ChatGPT powered Bing AI chatbot also has GPT-4 and the app is available for free download on the App Store.
