Many companies have begun to play AI chatbots, but the most topical among them is believed to be OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and because ChatGPT is so popular, if you go to the App Store to search for ChatGPT, there will be many simulated scam apps. If you want to play ChatGPT on your mobile phone anytime, anywhere, I taught you a simple method before, but it is always only a web version, not a Web App, and the user experience is still not very good, but OpenAI finally launched the “genuine” ChatGPT App, iOS users Being the first to download it should bring users a better experience. How can Hong Kong users play? Moderator you.
OpenAI officially launched the ChatGPT mobile application, but at present, iOS is the first to download it, and Android users have to wait. But even if you are an iPhone user, you may not be able to install it, because it is currently only available in the United States. When I saw some media, I said that there is a method that can be installed and used without VPN, so that the moderator couldn’t help but try it, but the result turned out to be that I still need a VPN to play, which really deceived my feelings~
Establishing Apple in the United States / Converting countries and regions to teach
The method is actually to change the region, but I, the moderator, feel that it is more convenient to open multiple Apple accounts directly. Now that I have such an idea, I will immediately do it according to my own idea:
001: Open Settings –> Apple ID –> Logout, and log out your existing Apple ID.
002: Create a new Apple ID account, and because the moderator did not give me the option to choose a region after I opened a new account, so after the creation, I still need to switch regions several times.
003: The method of switching regions is very simple. Open Settings –> Apple ID –> Media and Purchases –> View Account –> Country or Region –> Change Country or Region –> Select the United States.
004: Enter the US address, zip code, and phone number. Basically, I just fill in randomly. The phone number must conform to the format, and then agree to the terms.
005: After that, you can search for ChatGPT in the App Store, you will see OpenAI ChatGPT, and then click “Get” to download and complete.
Free VPN? wrong! Still must have a VPN!
I saw that some media wrote that VPN is not required, and I thought that as long as I downloaded it with a US account, it could be “installed and used” even without a VPN, but I thought too much. First of all, just like using the computer version, you need to have an OpenAI Account. If you already have an account, you can log in directly.
If you do not use a VPN on your mobile phone, because Hong Kong users cannot use ChatGPT, the words “Sign in failed” and “OpenAI’s services are not available in your country.” will be displayed. So the final result is that you need to open a VPN on your mobile phone, and transfer the VPN region to a country that supports ChatGPT, and you can use ChatGPT first.
App version ChatGPT demo
You will see the ChatGPT interface of the App version, which is very different from the computer version. It is very simple. When you enter the white screen, you can only see ChatGPT written in the middle, and then there is a message bar at the bottom for you to enter Prompt. However, the biggest difference from the web version of ChatGPT is that the iOS version uses the Whisper API for voice input, and you will see at the bottom that you can ask questions through voice.
However, if you are a novice user of AI chatbots and want to simply experience AI chatbots first, there are actually some ways to play without a VPN, and POE is one of the apps worth recommending.
