Start Using ChatGPT on Your iPhone
One of the most significant changes to Siri is its new ChatGPT integration. Apple realized it needed some outside help to make Siri smarter and made a deal with OpenAI to tie ChatGPT in with Siri and other Apple Intelligence features.
This new feature is extremely helpful, as it lets you use ChatGPT to handle things that Apple Intelligence can’t do on its own.
Here’s how to enable ChatGPT on your iPhone:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Apple Intelligence & Siri.
- Scroll down, and under Extensions, tap on ChatGPT.
- Turn on Use ChatGPT.
Now, whenever Siri can’t answer a question for you, like giving you a recipe for an apple pie, it will ask if you want to use ChatGPT instead. Siri will ask you if you wish to use ChatGPT whenever something like this happens, which can be annoying. However, you can disable Confirm ChatGPT Requests in the settings so Siri only asks for confirmation before sending a file to ChatGPT.
To be clear, Apple Intelligence isn’t powered by ChatGPT; it’s merely an extension to let you seamlessly call up the more knowledgeable chatbot when needed. Apple is also already working on new partnerships to add other AI extensions, such as Google Gemini.
