Since the launch of the
famous chatbot ChatGPT for the first
time in November 2022, OpenAI has
striven to develop its tool and make it more popular by improving its
performance and making it available to the largest number of users around the
world. The initial version of
ChatGPT was only available for use
on the web, and in a limited number of countries, until 2023 when the company launched
a
smartphone application
after visits to the web version witnessed a noticeable decline while
installations of the application on phones
were steadily increasing.
After the official ChatGPT application was only available in America,
India, and Brazil, its presence expanded to other Arab countries such as
Tunisia, Morocco, Iraq, and Jordan. ChatGPT has recently become officially
available for registration and
use on phones in Egypt, so do not miss
it if you have not used it yet. In this article, we present the
most important features that you can access by using the ChatGPT
application on your phone.

Advantages of using the official ChatGPT mobile application
ChatGPT is a chatbot app that uses
artificial intelligence
techniques to generate natural and logical responses. You can use
this app for fun, learning, or to get useful information. Some of the
advantages of using the official ChatGPT mobile app are:
Easier access and better user interface
Using ChatGPT on the web each time requires a series of steps starting with
opening the web browser, going to the
official ChatGPT website, and then logging in to the account before we can finally start a
conversation with the ChatGPT bot. There is no need for all this trouble for the mobile versions of ChatGPT.
After installing the ChatGPT application on the phone and registering in it,
the application keeps the credentials of each user and then all that is
needed is to click on the application icon to start any new conversation
with the bot directly.
This, of course, makes things much easier and faster, in addition to the
simple user interface that the application enjoys on
phones and
mobile devices, free of any complexity so that it is easy to deal with for all users from
different cultures and age groups without the need for a degree of technical
professionalism or a period of training and practice.
Speed of response
Phone and mobile device applications are generally characterized by a faster
response compared to websites and
apps, since phone applications usually store data locally on devices, which
makes accessing them easier and faster, unlike websites that use special
servers for this purpose. This applies to the official version of the
ChatGPT application for
phones. In addition to the speed of response that the application enjoys compared
to the website, OpenAI promises to provide additional features, especially
when upgrading from the free version of the application to the paid version
known as ChatGPT Plus, and among these features is that The user enjoys
ultra-fast responses to their requests from the ChatGPT bot.
Tactile feedback
Notification alerts and haptic feedback, in which your phone emits a
reaction that can be felt, such as vibration, instead of just seeing words
on the screen or hearing the phone ring, contribute to improving the user
experience and making it more interactive. It is also especially beneficial
for users who are hearing or visually impaired and helps them to continue
interacting with the application better. The ChatGPT app for phones and
mobile devices provides haptic responses and alerts that can be activated or
disabled as desired.
All you have to do to activate this feature is to press the menu button at
the top left after opening the application, then press the (⋯) button at the
bottom to go to the settings page. Here scroll down and tap the toggle
button opposite Haptic Feedback to turn it on or off. It may sometimes be
useful to disable this feature in the ChatGPT application if we do not need
it, as this helps extend the life of the device's battery and reduce rapid
draining. However, the app usually disables this feature automatically when
the battery power drops below a certain value.
Voice input
The ability to enter prompts via voice through the phone's microphone is one
of the most prominent features that the ChatGPT mobile application has
compared to the web application. The mobile version of ChatGPT uses the
Whisper engine from OpenAI itself to recognize speech and convert it to
text. Voice input helps enter prompts into ChatGPT easier and faster instead
of wasting time and effort writing them manually. In addition, it enables
the user to use the application even while performing other tasks at the
same time. It also gives the conversation with the artificial intelligence
application a human character and makes it more human-like. In our normal
conversations.
ChatGPT's voice input is particularly useful for people with physical
disabilities or injuries that render them unable to use their hands
efficiently, which makes the application available to everyone and provides
a reasonable degree of fairness of use. It also relieves some users of the
burden of being careful to avoid misspellings and misspellings while
writing.
To be able to enter your prompts audio into ChatGPT, all you have to do is
open the application on your phone and click on the microphone icon located
on the left side of the writing field to ask the application verbally about
what you want. After you finish your question, click on any empty spot in
the lower blue area of the application screen to stop recording. You will
notice that the application has begun to convert your words into written
text that appears on the screen, and now you can press the blue arrow sign
to send.
Change the input language
The ChatGPT application currently supports about 35 different languages, and
it is expected that OpenAI will work shortly to increase the number of
languages supported on the application to attract more customers and users
from all over the world and from different cultures. ChatGPT allows its
users to change the prompt input language. If you want to use your native
language in your conversations with the ChatGPT bot, you can do so by
pressing the menu button at the top left after opening the application, and
then pressing the (⋯) button at the bottom to go to the settings page. Here,
scroll down and click on “Main Language” and then select the language you
want from the list of supported languages on the application.
But if you do not want to use a specific language in your conversations with
the ChatGPT bot, but rather want the bot to understand you anyway,
regardless of the language you use, you can activate the automatic detection
feature, in which the application automatically recognizes the language used
in written or written prompts. Spoken words by comparing them with the
language dictionaries they store. The "Auto-detect" feature is usually
activated in the application by default, and even if it is not, you can
easily activate it from the settings.
View conversation history without the Internet
Although the ChatGPT application essentially needs a stable Internet
connection for you to be able to use it and receive answers from it, this
does not mean that the application becomes completely useless when the
connection is interrupted, as the ChatGPT application is still able to
display the history of your previous conversations with the bot in mode No
internet connection.
This can be useful in many situations, for example when you are looking for
a recipe, or a way to do something while your device is connected to the
Internet, and then you want to remember it or review it again later in a
place where there is no Internet connection. All you have to do is open the
ChatGPT application and press the menu button to view the conversation
history. Just select the conversation you want to view from the list of
saved conversations. Conversation titles saved in history are usually part
of the first statement or prompt in the conversation. The ChatGPT website
also keeps a history of your conversations and lets you view them later, but
the mobile app is not possible to access and use the website without an
internet connection.
Conclusion
Generative AI tools and techniques in general are still nascent at the
moment. The main characteristic of all types of tools and applications that
use machine learning techniques is that their performance can be constantly
improved and developed over time and with frequent use. The ChatGPT
application is still promising and carries within it many features and
improvements that will be revealed in the coming days.
