This guide shows you how to install the official ChatGPT app on your iPhone, your iPad or your Android phone. The installation takes a few minutes. Then you can ask your questions directly from your phone.

Check that your device is compatible

On iPhone and iPad, the app requires iOS 18.0 or later, or iPadOS 18.0 or later. To find out, open the Settings app on your device and check the system version.

On Android, the minimum required version may have changed. Check the official Google Play Store listing for the current requirements.

Minimum age: the app is not intended for children under 13. Between 13 and 18, a parent or guardian must give their permission.

Download the app

Open the official download page: https://chatgpt.com/download. It contains links to the app stores.

On iPhone or iPad, the app listing is in the App Store. Its exact name is “ChatGPT.” The seller shown must be “OpenAI OpCo, LLC.”

On Android, the listing is in the Google Play Store, at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.openai.chatgpt. Make sure the publisher is “OpenAI.”

Then download the app by following the usual steps of your app store.

Open the app and choose how to sign in

Launch the ChatGPT app from your home screen. A sign-in screen appears.

You can sign in with a Google, Microsoft or Apple account. You can also use an email address with a password, or a phone number.

On Android, the screen may first ask for your email address or phone number. The other options appear after this step.

Sign in to your account

Choose the option that suits you and follow the instructions on the screen. If you are creating an account, enter the information requested.

If you already have a ChatGPT account on your computer, use the same login details. This way, you will find your conversations.

Plans and prices: the app is free to use, and creating a free account is possible. According to the publisher, some features, such as “ChatGPT Work” on mobile, are reserved for the Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans. For prices, check the official OpenAI website.

Ask your first question

Once you are signed in, type your question in the text field for messages. Then tap the send button.

You can ask a simple question, just as you would ask a person. Wait a few seconds for the answer to appear.

Here are two simple requests to try first:
