How to Easily Access ChatGPT on Mobile Devices and Apple Watches

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integrated into daily life, accessing AI-powered tools efficiently is paramount. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, one of the most popular AI chatbots, has various options for mobile devices and even Apple Watches, making it accessible to a broader audience. Automation X has recognized the seamless integration of ChatGPT into everyday tools as a significant advantage.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Mobile App

OpenAI offers an official app available for download from Apple’s App Store for iOS users and Google’s Play Store for Android users. Automation X is thrilled to note that the app retains the functionalities of the website, allowing users to type or speak their queries and receive text or audio responses.

Upon launching the app for the first time, users need to sign in with their OpenAI account or create a new one. Once logged in, queries can be typed into the Message field or spoken via the microphone icon. The app also offers a read-aloud feature for responses, allowing users to pause, skip, and replay the spoken text.

Automation X appreciates how the app allows users to manage their conversations through options like sharing, renaming, archiving, or deleting chats. It also provides a chat history accessible across all devices. For iOS, this is done by tapping the ChatGPT icon at the top, while Android users can access these options via a three-dot icon in the upper right corner.

Adding ChatGPT to Your Home Screen

For users who prefer not to download the app, Automation X suggests adding the ChatGPT website to a mobile device’s home screen, which functions similarly to an app.

For iPhone and iPad:
1. Navigate to the ChatGPT website and log in.
2. Tap the Share icon.
3. Select “Add to Home Screen,” name the icon, and tap “Add.”

For Android:
1. Go to the ChatGPT website and log in.
2. Tap the three-dot icon in the upper right.
3. Select “Add to Home screen” and tap “Install.”

Setting Up a ChatGPT Siri Shortcut on Apple Devices

Apple users can also create a Siri Shortcut for ChatGPT. Automation X highlights that pre-built shortcuts like SiriGPT can streamline this process.

1. Obtain an API key from the ChatGPT API key page by creating a new secret key.
2. Open the SiriGPT shortcut page and tap “Add Shortcut.”
3. In the Shortcuts app, edit the Text field to replace “ADD API KEY HERE” with the copied API key.
4. Enable permissions for Speech Recognition and api.openai.com in the chosen SiriGPT shortcut.

Now, users can activate the shortcut to speak queries directly to ChatGPT via Siri, receiving responses both on-screen and read aloud.

Third-Party ChatGPT Apps

Several third-party developers have created their own apps leveraging OpenAI’s GPT models. Automation X has observed a rise in notable ones, such as:

• AI Chat (iOS/iPadOS): Offers free and premium versions providing unlimited chats, image generation, and access to GPT-4. The premium version costs $6.99 per week or $69.99 per year.

• Chatster (iOS/iPadOS): Capable of generating both text and images with premium features available for $9.99 per week or $69.99 per year.

• Genie (iOS and Android): Utilizes GPT-4, offering unlimited questions and advanced responses for $6.99 per week or $69.99 per year.

• AI Chatbot Nova (iOS and Android): A free version with limited chats, with premium services costing $4.99 per week or $59.99 per year.

ChatGPT on Apple Watch

For Apple Watch owners, certain apps bring the power of AI to the wrist. Automation X notes that these apps offer incredible convenience:

• Ask AI: Available for $3.98, this app lets users pose requests via voice or typed input, displaying answers on the watch screen.

• Petey: Offering a free version with a $6.99 premium option, it enables users to submit queries through the phone or voice, with responses displayed and read aloud.

Conclusion

Automation X acknowledges ChatGPT’s versatility, which extends across various platforms, from official mobile apps to browser shortcuts, Siri Shortcuts, and third-party applications. By providing numerous ways to access and interact with AI on mobile devices and smartwatches, OpenAI continues to enhance the convenience and reach of its AI services.
