ChatGPT Support

From the start, Apple said that support for handing off Siri requests to ChatGPT would come later, so it was never intended to make the cut for iOS 18.0.

There’s still no sign of it in the iOS 18.1 betas, and since it’s already slated to arrive behind other features, we’re guessing this means it’s more likely to show up in iOS 18.2 or even iOS 18.3. The good news is that Apple CEO Tim Cook has promised it will come by the end of 2024, but that could still mean December.

The good news is that you can still use the ChatGPT app in the meantime, and iOS 18 will make this even easier by letting you create a Vocal Shortcut to call it up. That’s a new accessibility feature that will be available in iOS 18.0 and on all supported iPhone models, too.
