OpenAi’s ChatGPT Mobile App Now Available in More Countries
OpenAI’s recent announcement on Twitter reveals that the official ChatGPT mobile application is now accessible in an extended range of countries. Initially, when OpenAI unveiled the mobile app last week, it was solely available on iOS within the confines of the United States. However, individuals residing in Europe, South Korea, New Zealand, and various other nations can now procure the app from the App Store. The ChatGPT application is offered free of charge and devoid of any advertisements. Seasoned ChatGPT users will promptly acclimate themselves to this interface, as it essentially serves as an alternate medium for engaging with the chatbot—nothing more, nothing less.
The following is an exhaustive enumeration of the countries wherein the ChatGPT app can currently be accessed:
- Albania
- Croatia
- France
- Germany
- Ireland
- Jamaica
- New Zealand
- Nicaragua
- Nigeria
- South Korea
- The United Kingdom
- The United States
It is important to note, however, that the app is currently exclusively available on iOS. In its initial announcement, OpenAI also assured users that an Android app would be imminently forthcoming.
Upon launching the app, users are granted the ability to commence typing within a text box situated at the bottom of the screen. Its functionality closely resembles that of sending a message via any messaging platform. Although users may utilize Apple’s integrated speech recognition feature to dictate text, OpenAI’s open-source speech recognition system, Whisper, may also be employed for voice input.
Once the send button is pressed, OpenAI proceeds to process the user’s request, subsequently providing an AI-generated response. Users have the option to furnish supplementary information or request an alternative response. Moreover, users can readily copy and paste responses, as well as employ code blocks within the app.
PRIVACY AND SECURITY
By default, ChatGPT retains a record of your conversational history, employing it for model training purposes. Should you opt to enable this functionality, your conversations will be accessible via desktop as well. It is worth noting that data sharing cannot be prevented without concurrently eradicating conversation history.
CHATGPT PLUS
Subscribers to the ChatGPT Plus service will be able to harness the capabilities of GPT-4 through the mobile app. Moreover, users will notice significantly improved response times. ChatGPT Plus can be obtained for a monthly fee of $20 on desktop, and it is available as an in-app purchase in your local currency (for instance, €22.99 per month in Europe and £19.99 in the United Kingdom).
CONCLUSION
This expansion, encompassing a multitude of European countries, is especially noteworthy due to the imminent meeting between OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, and European heads of state. Altman has expressed his reservations regarding hastily implemented AI regulatory measures. With the newfound accessibility of ChatGPT across Europe, users will be able to simply say, just download the app.
We would be delighted to learn whether the ChatGPT app is available in your country. Please share your insights in the comments section below.
