Similar to the iOS version, ChatGPT on Android allows users to engage with the generative AI for advice, answers, and other helpful responses. The app supports voice requests through OpenAI's in-house speech recognition, enables syncing of chat history across devices, and provides data export options. However, some features like plugins are not available on the Android version.

The AI chatbot, known for its multitasking abilities, has gained immense popularity in regions where it is available. Since its unveiling by the Sam Altman-led company in November of the previous year, ChatGPT has garnered significant attention, causing a stir in the tech industry. The chatbot's capabilities span various domains, including content generation, coding assistance, and even providing summaries of books.
The impact of ChatGPT's introduction echoed throughout the industry, prompting rival companies like Microsoft to develop their own versions of AI chatbots to keep up with the demand for intelligent virtual assistants.
