How to use ChatGPT on iPhone

You can use ChatGPT on iPhone in two methods: downloading the app or going to the website.

You’ve now downloaded the ChatGPT iOS app.

If you can’t see the app on your home screen — it is definitely in your App Library:

  • Opera
  • Anything else

Once you’re there…

You’ll then end up on the ChatGPT website, where you:

  • Have to sign up
  • Or log in, like we’ve already done in the picture below.
