Seems noticeably faster text generation on iOS than on the web, not sure if I'm imagining it?

Re: ChatGPT app for iOS
#172I clicked on the link on my PC. Noted the name of the app ("Openai ChatGP") and the description ("The official app by OpenAI") I opened App Store on my iPhone and typed the name of the app, verbatim . The official/correct app was not in the first 20 entries (which is as far as I was willing to scroll). Which, to me: 1. Shows why an official app is needed even though the web version works perfectly fine on iPhone and…
I love my iPhone but god damn does apple suck at a number of things. It’s 2023, and they have a terabyte of storage but they won’t store more than 100 numbers in your call history. Like what.
How about being able to edit a copied phone number? Like maybe I want to add a country code? No, the only way to do it is to make a new contact and then edit it? Ok…
Or how about search a pdf on my phone? Really? I can’t? Huh… so random…

>very many fake ChatGPT apps But its for our security to have a closed ecosyste---Walled Garden. Woah there, almost didn't stick to the marketing that we were all taught.
There's nothing "fake" about those apps at least upon surface level investigation: OpenAI sold access to the ChatGPT and GPT-4 API, so opportunistic people made chat apps "powered by" ChatGPT and GPT-4. They would be "fake" if they claim to be made by OpenAI, which they don't. So, on what ground do you suggest they should be blocked from submission? Slapping a custom UI on a third party API is fine, if a bit distaste…

I recall about a month of Show HN being largely populated by this same soft of thing. I'm definitely not arguing with misrepresentation of an official OpenAI app but there's a lot of this happening inside and outside the app store.

> They would be "fake" if they claim to be made by OpenAI, which they don't. Very many did that or implied an association with OpenAI, which is why OpenAI had to release updated branding guidelines ( https://openai.com/brand ) and started enforcing takedowns against apps/domains using GPT in their name.
Sure, I was looking at the top apps just now. Apparently OpenAI is explicitly okay with WhateverChat powered by ChatGPT.

#175Tried this for few minutes, and it makes my phone run hot. Whats the CPU/GPu intensive work this app is doing on the device? I thought all the queries are sent to the server and no on device processing.

#176What does this add over opening chat.openai.com in Safari? It seems like I could perhaps browse conversation history offline (but I can't tell for sure), and voice dictation. I've just used it in Safari with no problems, so I want to know if any compelling reasons exist to use the app. I'd guess it includes additional tracking enabled by an app and other undesirable aspects of an app.
It’s actually less functional than the web interface — plugins and web browsing features are unavailable. But it does do a LOT of haptic.
Haptic should not be on by default for every token of output. About as annoying as the clack of a mechanical typewriter. Counting the minutes until OpenAI make it off by default, and you can turn it on in settings. Each sentence might be enough to know that it's still typing. Currently wastes a lot of energy, and as a reminder that ChatGPT is outputting it's way too distracting.

#177I'd be worried downloading it because there's so many fake spyware ChatGPT apps in the store.
But I have Android anyway.. Hopefully that will come too!
Re: ChatGPT app for iOS
#178Not available in Italy lol
That's already been reverted. https://www.reuters.com/technology/chatgpt-is-available-agai...
Edit: Oh ok you mean the app, I thought you meant ChatGPT in general because Italy banned it for a bit.
I think it will come soon, when I had an app in the store and I added a country it also didn't appear straight away.

The phone number editing is the bane of my existence. I also want the option to automatically set the country code of a new number to either the current country I'm in or the country my SIM card is from.

#180Why is this an app? What does it enable that the website can't?
