OpenAI releases official ChatGPT app for Android

The company has provided a pre-order page in the Google Play Store, allowing users to register for installation once the app is ready.

On July 21, OpenAI revealed plans to launch an Android version of the popular artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT in the coming week. The launch follows its release to iOS users in May.

The company announced the launch in a tweet and provided a pre-order page in the Google Play Store, allowing users to sign up for the install once the app is ready.

This announcement follows recent efforts by OpenAI to improve the security and transparency of its tools through initiatives such as content watermarking. The company has come under scrutiny over concerns about misinformation generated by its AI.

OpenAI highlights the Android app's enhanced security measures over the web version. It will also offer features like syncing chat history across devices, similar to the iOS version.

By introducing Android and iOS apps, OpenAI directly competes with Microsoft's Bing Chat, which also uses OpenAI's GPT-4 technology. Applications are an alternative way to test large language models (LLMs) without using a web browser.
