ChatGPT, the AI chatbot powered by the GPT-3.5 architecture, has gained immense popularity, with over 25 million daily users according to the latest data, breaking records for the fastest-growing userbase. However, despite its popularity, ChatGPT does not have an official app, and users are restricted to accessing it only through the OpenAI website. This has resulted in numerous unofficial ChatGPT apps flooding the app stores, making it challenging for users to find reliable options.

To help users access ChatGPT quickly and efficiently on their smartphones, we have put together a list of the fastest and most secure ways to do so.

1) Hey GPT
Hey GPT is a new tool that can help iPhone and iPad users interact with ChatGPT quickly and easily. This tool is designed to replace Siri with ChatGPT, which means that users can ask ChatGPT for help with tasks like writing emails, finding recipes, or understanding complex topics using just a few words. Hey GPT responds in Siri’s voice, providing a seamless experience. Although it may not be as fast as Siri, it can perform a wider range of tasks. To use Hey GPT, users need to install an extension link, enter their OpenAI API key, and add the shortcut to their home screen. Once it is set up, Hey GPT can be used right away.

2) Buddy GPT
In case you are a WhatsApp user, you may be interested in integrating ChatGPT into the messaging app. BuddyGPT is a service that enables you to access ChatGPT on both WhatsApp and Telegram. By clicking on a specific link, you will be redirected to the chat interface on your chosen messaging app, where you can select English as your language and start interacting with ChatGPT. This integration will make ChatGPT appear as a friend on WhatsApp, facilitating your communication with the AI chatbot. However, BuddyGPT offers only 15 free messages per month, and after that, you need to upgrade to the premium tier.

3) Microsoft Start
Microsoft Start, a multifunctional search app that integrates various features, now includes an upgrade powered by the new Bing AI, which is based on GPT-4. This enhancement allows users to interact with ChatGPT, the closest experience to an official ChatGPT app.

To access ChatGPT, users can download the app on their Android or Apple devices and tap the Bing logo in the center of the bottom toolbar. There are three conversation styles to choose from, depending on your needs: Creative, Balanced, and Precise. This feature is a valuable addition for users who want to stay updated on current events since Bing has internet access, unlike ChatGPT.
