How to Use ChatGPT With Siri on iPhone and What We found

Apple has supercharged Siri iniOS 18.2by integrating ChatGPT. But how does ChatGPT benefit the end user? Plenty of ways. For example, with traditional Siri, certain questions might only yield web search results as Siri cannot handle them directly. However, with ChatGPT integration, Siri can now provide clear, direct answers extremely quickly instead of just a few web links. It can also solve math problems, answer riddles, and provide more detailed explanations for almost any question you ask. Here’s a guide on how to use ChatGPT with Siri on iPhones running iOS 18.2 andeligible for AI.

Step 1: Update to iOS 18.2

This feature is only available on iOS 18.2, which is currently in developer beta 1. To access it, you will need to either switch to the beta channel and update to iOS 18.2 or wait for the stable release of version 18.2. You can check your current iOS version or update to 18.2 by going toSettings > General > Software Update.

Step 2: Set Up Siri With ChatGPT

Once you are on iOS 18.2, you need to enable the ChatGPT integration as it is turned off by default.

The integrated ChatGPT on Siri uses the GPT-4o model but comes with a daily message limit. Once the daily limit ends, you’re able to still use the ChatGPT free version. To remove this limit in the advanced (latest model), you need aChatGPT Plus subscriptionwhich costs $19.99/month.

to access this model, but with Siri, you can access it for free, with unlimited requests, while staying anonymous.

Siri can also access and read what’s on your screen. For example, you can open an image and ask, “What’s on the image?”, and ChatGPT will provide an answer. While reading an article, select some text and ask Siri, “What does the selected text mean in this article?”. The results are quite accurate most of the time.

If you don’t want Siri to ask permission to use ChatGPT every time, go toSettings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > ChatGPTand disableConfirm ChatGPT Requests. Siri will then open ChatGPT without requiring you to tap theUse ChatGPTbutton. However, when uploading images, screenshots, or documents, it will still ask for permission, regardless of what setting is selected.

If Siri fails to automatically enable ChatGPT for certain prompts, addAsk ChatGPTin the prompt. For example, “Ask ChatGPT what’s the current time?”
