Get ChatGPT on an iPhone

Android phone? Turn this sheet over.

Install it

  1. Open the App Store (the blue icon with a white "A").
  2. Tap Search (the magnifying glass, bottom right) and type ChatGPT.
  3. Check that it says OpenAI under the name. Other apps copy the look. Skip them.
  4. Tap Get. Your phone may ask you to double-click the side button, look at the screen, or type your Apple password.
  5. When the button says Open, tap it.
It wants an Apple password you don't know? Stop there. You don't need the app. Open Safari and go to chatgpt.com instead. It works the same way.

Sign in

  1. Tap Continue with Apple. That's the easiest, with no new password. (Or use Google, or your email.)
  2. It asks your name and birthday. That's normal.
  3. It may offer a paid plan. Tap the X or Not now. Free is all you need, and it never asks for a card.

Try it

Type in the box at the bottom and tap the arrow. Rather talk? Tap the microphone 🎤. If it asks to use the microphone, tap Allow.

✏️ Before you leave the table Write how you signed in, and any password, in the "Getting back in later" box on your handout. Copy the password off the screen, not from memory.
