OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the conversational AI language model, launched on iOS two months ago and is now available for “pre-order” on Android. The iOS version gained immense popularity, amassing half a million downloads in its first week. The dedicated app proved to be a superior experience compared to the web interface, making it highly compelling for users.
The Android version of the ChatGPT app is expected to offer similar functionality to its iOS counterpart, bringing most, if not all, of the web-based version’s features to the platform. Users will likely be able to sync their conversations and preferences across devices, ensuring a seamless experience between iPhone and Android.
While some iOS-specific features, like Siri and Shortcuts integration, may not be available on Android, it is anticipated that Android users will receive equivalent functionalities. The Android app is set to roll out to users in the United States initially, with potential expansion to other countries in the following weeks or months. During its initial iOS release, the app was quickly introduced in a dozen more countries.
To stay informed about the Android app’s availability, interested users can pre-register on the Google Play Store. Given the popularity of the iOS launch, significant interest is expected for the Android version as well. As the app makes its way to Android devices, ChatGPT’s reach is likely to grow further, becoming an essential tool for on-the-go conversational AI.
