OpenAI Launches Official ChatGPT App for iPhone and iPad

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]

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.

But Apple web that their App Store is curated and highly screened, so fake apps never reach the end user! 🙄

Is this a joke? That’s the least amount of personal data an app could gather….
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 ('https://apps.apple.com/us/app/genie-ai-chatbot/id1658377526'). It only uses one data to track you... Identifiers. No "Contact Info." No "User Content"
