OpenAI has released an update to its ChatGPT app, specifically for iOS and iPadOS users. According to The Verge, the app previously ran on larger screens as an iPhone-sized application, but the recent upgrade allows for full-screen support on Apple’s tablets while preserving the chat interface and the option to switch between GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 functions.
The app update also includes the drag-and-drop feature, which enables users to move messages from the chat interface to other applications. Siri support is now available, allowing users to activate ChatGPT through voice commands. The update also integrated the chatbot with the Shortcuts feature, allowing users to generate a ChatGPT request in Shortcuts to initiate a new chat and incorporate it into Apple’s Shortcuts automation.
OpenAI has been steadily improving its ChatGPT mobile app experience. The company has been regularly enhancing its chat history and voice input in their recent updates. They have also announced the upcoming launch of an Android-compatible version. OpenAI launched a premium subscription option for ChatGPT earlier this year, called ChatGPT Plus, which provides priority access and the latest GPT-4 model for a monthly price of $20.
This new update enhances the experience of iPad users by fully optimizing the app on their devices. Users can now enjoy the full functions of ChatGPT on their larger screens with ease. With new features, like the integration of the Shortcuts automation feature, ChatGPT offers a more seamless experience to Apple users.
