ChatGPT and Google Bard are two great language models that can be used to generate text, translate languages, create different kinds of creative content, and answer questions in a useful way. OpenAI has announced the release of its ChatGPT application for iOS users in the US, promising that the application will be rolled out to more users. Android users are “next,” he admitted to OpenAI. However, there is a way for all iOS and Android users to continue using both Bard and ChatGPT as applications.
In a nutshell, Android or iOS users can access both chatbots from their home screen shortcuts. Basically it looks like a normal application and sometimes works as well. A bonus point is that you don’t need to download any additional applications.
To add ChatGPT or Google Bard to your home screen, follow these steps:
For iOS users:
- Open ChatGPT or Google Bard in your Safari browser
- Log in to your Google or OpenAI account
- While viewing a website, on the menu bar,[共有]Tap the button (the box with the up arrow).
- Scroll down the list of options and tap Add to Home Screen
- Then you will see an icon like the Bard or ChatGPT app on your home screen, ready to use as an app.
For Android users:
- Open Google Chrome and log in to your OpenAI or Google account.
- Then tap the three vertical dots in the upper right corner.
- A pop-up window will appear with the “Add to Home Screen” option.
- Then name the shortcut “ChatGPT” and confirm.
- An icon will pop up on your home screen with a small Chrome icon at the bottom
Advantages of using app-like home screen shortcuts
Just like your application, you have instant access to the platform. The page will open in Chrome or Safari, but the core functionality of the chatbot is still available. However, it’s not exactly the same experience that the app offers.
The downside is that users often have to log into their OpenAI or Google accounts. The user interface (UI) is not as optimized as expected for the application. For example, his ChatGPT application on iOS also provides her Whisper feature that allows you to interact with chatbots using voice input. You can also select different GPT models from the dropdown menu.
