OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT, has expanded its availability to Android users in select countries, including the US, India, Bangladesh, and Brazil. This move comes after a successful launch on Apple’s iOS platform earlier in the year. To access the app, Android users need to have version 6.0 or higher on their smartphones.
For subscribers of ChatGPT Plus, there’s an additional benefit of switching between the standard GPT-3.5 language model and the more advanced GPT-4, according to their preferences.

Similar to the iOS version, ChatGPT on Android allows users to interact with the AI for advice, answers, and other helpful responses. The app supports voice requests through OpenAI’s in-house speech recognition and allows chat history syncing across devices, with data export options available.
It’s important to note that some features, like plugins, are not currently available on the Android version of ChatGPT. However, the app’s multitasking abilities and capabilities in various domains, such as content generation, coding assistance, and book summarization, have garnered significant attention and popularity in regions where it is available.
The introduction of ChatGPT has had a considerable impact on the tech industry, prompting rival companies like Microsoft to develop their own AI chatbots to meet the growing demand for intelligent virtual assistants.
To download ChatGPT on an Android smartphone, users can simply visit the Google Play Store, search for “ChatGPT” by OpenAI, and proceed with the download and installation process. OpenAI has plans to expand the availability of ChatGPT to more countries in the near future.
