ChatGPT is coming to Android… No, not what you’ve been using. The app. OpenAI has had a ChatGPT available for use by iPhone users for 2 months now (and it came to the iPad just last month). It’s now the turn of Android users to get to experience AI smarts from something that’s not a web page.
The app is currently available for pre-registration on the Play Store (see link below) so you can register and have it auto-download and install when it becomes available next week.
Now, before you get all excited, we have no word on where the app will be accessible. Going by our experience with the iPhone app, chances are the app may be available in the United States alone or just a handful of countries as OpenAI works on availing it to everyone as days go by. Or, you never know, we may just be lucky this time.
Whatever the case, it won’t be much of a loss to users not to get a native app immediately. It’s just nice to have a dedicated app.
Users of the app can expect pretty much the same functionality they have been getting when they use ChatGPT on the web. That includes being able to carry with them their conversations and preferences as they will now easily sync across devices.
It will be interesting to see if the ChatGPT app on Android will launch with out-of-the-box support for features that we saw being added later on to the iPhone app like being able to drag and drop text from the app to other apps and an integration with a digital assistant (in the iPhone’s case, that was Siri but this being Android, we can expect that to be the Google Assistant).
