OpenAI’s ChatGPT app is getting its first major update a month after its App Store debut. The AI chatbot app now supports Siri, Shortcuts, and iPad natively. Users can now drag and drop ChatGPT messages into other apps.
In iPad split-screen mode, you may ask ChatGPT questions in one window and drag its answers to another.
ChatGPT runs in iPad-optimized full-screen mode. Before today’s release, many iPad users used the chatbot’s web browser version, but this modification and drag-and-drop will improve it. The ChatGPT app, which debuted at the top of the App Store with half a million downloads in a week, could benefit from the update.
It has now expanded to Albania, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, South Korea, and the U.K. and promises an Android version.
ChatGPT now supports Siri and Shortcuts. That means you can construct Siri-compatible ChatGPT Shortcuts. You could transform your favorite prompts into Shortcuts and have them save the response to a different app following the query. Siri now opens ChatGPT using voice commands.
iPad users can also purchase ChatGPT Plus, which costs $20 per month and provides faster response times, increased access during busy hours, and priority access to new features and upgrades.
ChatGPT has remained in the App Store in the weeks since its launch. The app is still No. 4 on the App Store’s Top Free rankings in the U.S. and has a 4.8-star rating across 421,000 ratings and reviews, a rare feat. According to data.ai, the iOS app has 7.3 million global installs and has been in the top five in the U.S. since its launch. The app tops 31 countries worldwide.
Apple amended its App Store regulations this week to warn developers that submitting ChatGPT clones violates the Developer Code of Conduct and may result in expulsion from the Apple Developer Program. ChatGPT imitators flooded the App Store before the official release.
