ChatGPT: The Android Invasion Begins

·

·

Hold onto your smartphones, Android users. The AI chatbot sensation, ChatGPT, is about to land in your app store. Just two months after its iOS debut, the Android version is ready for “pre-order”. If you’re looking to carry this conversational wizard around in your pocket, now’s your chance.

The iOS version of ChatGPT saw half a million downloads in its first week. That’s right, half a million. It was a jaw-dropping moment until Threads came along and stole the spotlight. But let’s not get into that now.

The Android Experience

The Android version of the ChatGPT app is expected to mirror its iOS counterpart in terms of functionality. That means you’ll get all the bells and whistles of the web-based version, right on your device. Sync your conversations and preferences across devices? Check. Use your iPhone at home and Android at work? No problem.

Of course, there will be differences. The Android and iOS operating systems are as different as apples and… well, androids. The Siri and Shortcuts features added to the iOS app in June won’t be making the jump. But don’t despair, Android users. You’ll likely get something similar.

The Rollout

OpenAI announced on Twitter that the Android app will start “rolling out to users next week”. The initial launch is expected to be in the U.S., with other countries likely to follow in the coming weeks or months.

Want to be the first to know when the app goes live? Hit “pre-register” on the Play Store. And then, wait for the magic to happen.
