ChatGPT is getting an official Android app, and you’ll be able to use it on your phone sooner than you think. Makers of ChatGPT OpenAI just finished announcing some new features for the AI tool and it’s now announcing that Android users will be able to access it through an app on their mobile devices.
Making it kind of a big week for the company. OpenAI says the app will begin rolling out to users next week. But there’s no set day for arrival just yet. For eager fans of the tool, maybe you’ll get lucky and it’ll land sooner rather than later.
After all the iPhone app is already available and iOS users have been enjoying it for free since earlier this year.
Announcing ChatGPT for Android! The app will be rolling out to users next week, and you can pre-order in the Google Play Store starting today: https://t.co/NfBDYZR5GI

You can pre-register for the ChatGPT Android app right now
While you wait for the app to arrive, you can pre-register for it over on the Google Play Store. And most users should know by now that if you pre-register, you’ll get a notification when the app is available to install.
Of course none of that will matter if you don’t pay attention to your notifications. The ChatGPT Android app will be free just like the iOS version and it’ll sync your history across devices, OpenAI says. More importantly though, you won’t have to use the website in your mobile browser. Which wasn’t exactly a user-friendly experience. OpenAI also confirms that the app will feature the company’s newest model improvements. So whatever you can already use on the website, you’ll be able to use in the app. At least judging by OpenAI’s statement.
For OpenAI and ChatGPT fans, this app’s impending release is good news. Especially since Google doesn’t have an Android app available for Bard. This gives OpenAI a chance to potentially gain some new users if they’d prefer to use an app for this kind of thing on the go.
