OpenAI’s popular ChatGPT app has announced new updates for its iOS version that will further integrate the app into our everyday lives. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot that generates text responses to answer users’ queries. The app has gained immense popularity in recent months, thanks to its ability to draft letters, correct copy, make jokes, and provide the backbone for Microsoft’s Bing AI search.
The new updates announced by OpenAI will allow users to create a ChatGPT prompt in Shortcuts, save it as a link between the AI tool and other apps on their phones, and automate simple tasks to save time. Additionally, Siri can now bring up the ChatGPT app or create these shortcuts, increasing the app’s integration with the popular virtual assistant.
Users can also now drag and drop messages out of the ChatGPT app and drop them into other apps on their phones, providing a seamless experience for sharing information. OpenAI utilizes Whisper speech recognition on ChatGPT for voice input, allowing iPhone users to dictate their responses and questions to the bot comfortably.
The updates will also bring better iPad support to ChatGPT, introducing them to tablets in a more natural way with a user-friendly interface. However, Android owners will still have to wait for an app, although the blog post ends with reassuring words for them: ChatGPT will be coming to your device soon!
While OpenAI has not yet provided a specific timeline for the app update, it is expected to happen soon. In the meantime, iPhone users can download the official ChatGPT app from the Appstore and start enjoying the new features.
