Unlock the Power of ChatGPT on Your iPhone: Here’s How!

With the rollout of iOS 18.2 on December 11, 2023, Apple has seamlessly integrated ChatGPT into its ecosystem, allowing lucky users of recent iPhone models, iPads, and Macs to tap into OpenAI’s powerful chatbot directly from their devices. Say goodbye to the hassle of using external apps or web clients – everything is now at your fingertips!

What Exactly is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is an advanced generative AI chatbot designed by the innovative minds at OpenAI. Leveraging a cutting-edge language model, ChatGPT can engage in human-like conversations, assist in solving complex math and coding queries, and even generate text, images, and audio. As it stands, the latest version operates on OpenAI’s remarkable GPT-4o and its mini counterpart, boasting enhanced capabilities and user experiences.

In an exciting partnership announced in June 2024, Apple joined forces with OpenAI to weave ChatGPT into its Apple Intelligence framework. While some standout features of ChatGPT are readily available within iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, others – such as the highly sought-after Advanced Voice Mode – still require access through the dedicated ChatGPT app or the OpenAI website for the full experience.

Where Can You Experience ChatGPT on Your iPhone?

Your iPhone allows you to harness the capabilities of ChatGPT through three primary avenues. Firstly, you can ask Siri to pull in responses from ChatGPT. When Siri encounters a query where ChatGPT’s assistance could enhance your experience, it will request your approval to share your request with OpenAI.

Secondly, with the iPhone 16's Camera Control menu, you can enlist ChatGPT to identify places and objects, bringing a whole new dimension to smartphone interactions.

Finally, thanks to Apple’s new “Writing Tools,” ChatGPT can assist you while typing in various first-party apps like Notes, Mail, and Messages. To access this feature, simply:

1. Long press on any text to activate the text selection tool.

2. Select “Writing Tools” (if you don't see it, tap the arrow icon).

3. Choose “Compose.”

4. Select “Compose with ChatGPT” and describe your writing prompt.

Do You Need an OpenAI Account?

Good news! You don’t need an OpenAI account to enjoy ChatGPT on your iPhone. However, having a paid subscription grants you access to more advanced features and maintains a record of your requests within your ChatGPT history.

How to Activate ChatGPT on Your iPhone

If your iPhone has yet to prompt you for ChatGPT integration, you can easily enable it manually:

1. Open **Settings**.

2. Tap **Apple Intelligence & Siri**.

3. Select **ChatGPT**, then hit **Set Up**.

4. Choose **Enable ChatGPT** or **Use ChatGPT with an Account** if you already have an OpenAI account.

Which Apple Devices Support ChatGPT?

To leverage the power of ChatGPT, you’ll need an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence. Currently, compatibility includes various models of the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, designed to provide a cutting-edge experience for users looking to integrate AI seamlessly into their daily lives.
