When OpenAI released its ChatGPT app for iPhone in May, it promised that Android users would get the app soon. Now the company has announced that ChatGPT for Android will be rolling out to users next week.Furthermore, the List on Google Play has already gone live, and users can pre-register and get it as soon as it becomes available.
It’s unclear if the app will initially be available only in the US like the iPhone app, but it was able to be pre-ordered from Asia. OpenAI expanded the availability of the iOS app to more regions just days after the iOS app’s release, so it’s likely that the Android app will soon be accessible in other countries, even if it’s only released in the US.
People can already access ChatGPT on Android through a browser, and while the interface isn’t too difficult to navigate, it’s not ideal for mobile devices. A dedicated app means a mobile-optimized interface and user-tailored functionality on the platform. For example, an iOS user got her Siri and Shortcuts support in June. Shortcuts allows him to create ChatGPT prompts, save them as links to send to friends, or ask Siri to launch apps, create shortcuts, and more.
OpenAI recently began testing a new opt-in feature for ChatGPT Plus subscribers that gives AI chatbots continuous memory. When the feature is turned on, the company says the chatbot will remember who the user is in a conversation, which can streamline queries. The feature is designed to work across platforms, so paying her Android users who opt-in are more likely to see continuous memory when the app launches.
Announcing ChatGPT for Android! The app will be available to users next week and available for pre-order on the Google Play Store starting today. https://t.co/NfBDYZR5GI
