Unlock ChatGPT Voice with Your iPhone’s Action Button

Frustrated with Siri? iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users now have a compelling alternative for voice assistance. The latest OpenAI iOS app update allows the Action button to be mapped directly to ChatGPT’s voice mode. This provides instant, hands-free access to a more advanced conversational AI, bypassing Siri’s limitations for many tasks.

Setting this up is straightforward. Users need to update to the newest version of the OpenAI app, then navigate to the iPhone’s Settings, select Action Button, and choose ChatGPT from the options. From there, assigning the Action button to initiate a voice conversation is simple. This opens a world of possibilities for quick queries and commands.

The impact is significant. Imagine instantly dictating messages, summarizing articles, or brainstorming ideas—all without unlocking your phone or saying ‘Hey Siri.’ This integration streamlines workflows and offers a glimpse into a future where AI assistants are seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. It also highlights a workaround for Apple’s walled garden approach to its default assistant.
