ChatGPT Could Replace Google Assistant on Android Phones

Chatting with an advanced bot will become even easier.

ChatGPT could become the default voice assistant on Android smartphones instead of "Google Assistant." Researcher Mishaal Rahman from Android Authority discovered relevant developments in the OpenAI code, which created the popular chat bot.

Users are expected to be able to quickly launch it from any screen using a gesture or voice command. The dialog box will not take up the entire screen, unlike the voice chat mode in the ChatGPT mobile app.

Currently, the option is disabled by default, but when manually activated, a spinning animation appears on the screen, similar to what usually occurs when launching the bot's voice mode on smartphones.

However, testing the new feature was unsuccessful: the image disappeared from the screen before interaction with the AI assistant was possible.

It is quite possible that access to the voice assistant will only be available with a ChatGPT Plus subscription.
