On July 21, OpenAI revealed its plan to launch the Android version of its popular artificial intelligence (AI) ChatGPT software, ChatGPT, in the next week. The launch follows its launch for iOS users in May.
The company announced the launch in a tweet and introduced a pre-order page in the Google Play Store, allowing users to sign up for installation once the app is ready.
This announcement follows OpenAI’s recent efforts to enhance the integrity and transparency of its tools through initiatives such as watermarking content. The company has come under scrutiny over concerns about misinformation generated by artificial intelligence.

OpenAI highlights the improved security measures of the Android app compared to the web version. It will also offer features like chat history sync across devices, similar to the iOS version.
By offering Android and iOS apps, OpenAI competes directly with Microsoft’s Bing Chat, which also uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 technology. Apps are an alternative way to test large language models (LLMs) without relying on a web browser.
The release date coincides with Google unveiling its Bard chatbot and the other tech giant’s foray into the AI sector. In addition, several startups, such as Anthropic with Claude 2, are rapidly emerging, offering functionality beyond OpenAI’s paid version of ChatGPT. However, OpenAI’s chatbot saw a drop in traffic in June, its first since its launch.
