ChatGPT for Android launches next week, after launching on iOS in May, and it’s been very popular on iOS

Since launching in November, OpenAI’s ChatGPT tool has reached a number of users at a rate that’s astounding for anything outside of Threads — now the company says it’s ready to release an app for Android.

In a tweet, the company announced ChatGPT for Android is rolling out next week without listing a specific day and linked to a preorder page in the Google Play Store where you can register to get it installed once the app is available.

On Android the various ChatGPT tools have been available via web logins and paid 3rd party apps (or their very restricted free tiers). It’s only really been Bing’s app that has been available as a native app. The native ChatGPT app does offer some benefits apparently like remembering previous results and syncing across devices.

The ChatGPT app on iOS has actually been quite a hit apparently, with an average rating of 4.4/5 for over 10,500 ratings, and it is #2 in the Productivity category on iOS.
