How to use ChatGPT with Apple Intelligence on iPhone
With the release of iOS 18.2 this week, you can now use ChatGPT with Apple Intelligence on your iPhone. If you choose to allow your iPhone to work with ChatGPT from OpenAI, you can do the following:
• Use Siri to access ChatGPT: Siri can tap into ChatGPT to provide answers when that might be helpful for certain requests including questions about photos and documents.
• Use ChatGPT with Writing Tools: ChatGPT can compose text or images from just a description.
• Use ChatGPT with visual intelligence: Use visual intelligence with Camera Control to quickly learn more about the places and objects around you.
• Connect your ChatGPT account: You don’t need a ChatGPT account, but if you have one—free or paid—you can connect to your account. With a ChatGPT paid account, your iPhone can use advanced ChatGPT capabilities more often.
You control when ChatGPT is used and will be asked before any of your information is shared.
Note: The ChatGPT extension is available with Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.2 or later on all iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. You must be at least 13 years old or the minimum age required in your country to consent to use ChatGPT. For more information, see OpenAI Terms of Use.
How to set up ChatGPT

MacDailyNews Note: If you access the ChatGPT extension without an account, only your request and attachments like documents, photos, or contents of the document are sent to ChatGPT to answer your request. OpenAI does not receive any information tied to your Apple Account. Your IP address is obscured from ChatGPT, but your general location is provided. OpenAI must process your request solely for the purpose of fulfilling it and not store your request or any responses it provides unless required under applicable laws. OpenAI also must not use your request to improve or train its models. When you are signed in, your ChatGPT account settings and OpenAI’s data privacy policies will apply.
