ChatGPT for Android set to launch next week

The Android app's launch comes just a few months after the iOS version brought ChatGPT to iPhones and iPads.

While the specific launch day was not mentioned, eager users can register on the Google Play Store's pre-order page to be among the first to install the app once it becomes available.

ChatGPT has enjoyed remarkable popularity since its debut in November, reaching a significant number of users, comparable to the success of Threads. With its expansion to Android, OpenAI aims to make the chatbot accessible to an even wider audience.

Unlike Google's Bard chatbot, which lacks dedicated mobile apps and relies on a web-based interface, ChatGPT's Android app will provide a seamless and user-friendly experience for Android device owners.

The release of ChatGPT for Android comes amidst a slight dip in web traffic and app installations reported in June, as indicated by Sensor Tower and Similarweb data. Additionally, some users have expressed concerns about GPT-4 appearing "slower and dumber." OpenAI responded to these claims, assuring users that they are continually updating the APIs to enhance performance.
