After OpenAI launched ChatGPT on the web in November 2022 and it went viral, a huge race began between tech giants to adopt chatbots and embed AI into their products, and competition intensified. Among the technology companies on the subject of artificial intelligence.
However, OpenAI has not only launched and developed the web version of ChatGPT but also released the iPhone version of ChatGPT app in May 2023. If you are an iPhone user, you may be wondering what features OpenAI has introduced in its app and whether it offers a better user experience .
Here are some of the features you can get in ChatGPT that make it better than the web version:
1- Voice input:
ChatGPT for iPhone supports voice input (voice input) functionality via Whisper, an open source speech recognition system developed by OpenAI.
The benefits of voice input are endless, and its benefits are even greater when combined with the powerful capabilities of intelligent chatbots. You can talk to ChatGPT while doing other tasks with your voice.
This method is much faster than typing a long text, requires no punctuation, and better mimics natural human conversation. In addition, this feature is particularly useful for those who cannot use their hands due to physical problems and promotes universality and accessibility of ChatGPT features for everyone.
To use voice input in the app, just tap the microphone icon in the chat bar and start recording. Then tap anywhere in the blue area to stop recording. The app will then automatically convert your words into text. Then click the blue arrow to submit a claim.
2- Better and easier to use interface:
If you are using the web version of ChatGPT, you will need to go through several steps, including opening a web browser, accessing the ChatGPT website, and signing up before you can start using it. But ChatGPT for iPhone eliminates this tedious process because the app is just a tap away and as easy to access as any other app on your phone.
In addition, the application offers an elegant interface and minimalist design, which greatly improves user experience. Thanks to the simple design, it can be easily used by people of all ages.
3- Possibility to change the language:
ChatGPT lets iPhone speak more than 35 different languages by voice, with more languages planned for future support.
To change the language in ChatGPT app on iPhone, follow these steps:
- Click the three dots button in the upper right corner and select Settings.
- In the Audio section, click on the Primary Language option.
- Choose your preferred language.
4- Access your chat history offline:
Although you can access your ChatGPT chat history on the web and mobile app, it can be viewed in the app without WiFi or a cellular connection.
If you are not connected to the Internet, you will not be able to open the ChatGPT website in a web browser and login. Even if you lose your internet connection after logging in, you can only see the titles of your previous conversations in the sidebar. Once opened, messages are not downloaded.
But in the ChatGPT iPhone app, all you need to do is tap on the menu icon on the home screen and choose "History" from the list. Below you will see a search bar with the addresses of all previous conversations. Select any address to download the entire conversation whether you are online or not.
5- Get a faster response:
Mobile apps generally have better response times than websites, and ChatGPT for iPhone has the same benefit. However, the responsiveness of apps and websites depends on the performance of your device and your Internet connection.
On the other hand, OpenAI states on its website that users who subscribe to ChatGPT Plus get faster responses in the ChatGPT app. So if you are looking for the fastest response from a bot, you can sign up for the service for a fee.
