ChatGPT and Siri: Your smart assistants
Connecting Siri to ChatGPT makes Siri more powerful. Siri can now access ChatGPT's extensive knowledge and generative capabilities. This means you can now ask Siri complex or specific questions that go beyond the standard functionality. Whether it's analyzing a photo or answering a complex question, Siri becomes even more versatile. Here's how to set up ChatGPT for Siri:
- Open your iPhone’s Settings and go to “Apple Intelligence & Siri.”
- Select “ChatGPT” and tap “Set up”.
- Activate the feature either without an account or by logging in with your existing ChatGPT account.
Writing tools: creativity made easy
The writing tools with ChatGPT are ideal if you want to create text or images quickly and easily. With just a few inputs, you can generate social media posts, blog articles or emails, for example. This function saves you time and provides creative suggestions that you can adapt.
- For example, enter a description like "Write an invitation for a birthday party" and ChatGPT will create a suitable text for you in a few seconds. This also works with visual content if you add an image description.
Visual Intelligence: Recognize the world around you
With Visual Intelligence, you can use your iPhone 16's camera to get information about objects, places, or text around you. This feature is especially useful when you're on the go and want to quickly look something up. Just point the camera at an object or place and ChatGPT will give you relevant details. For example, you can take a photo of a monument and the AI will explain its history and significance.
Integration of a ChatGPT account
You can use ChatGPT without an account, but with an existing ChatGPT account - whether free or paid - you can unlock additional features. A paid account allows for more frequent and faster requests, especially if you use the advanced tools intensively. Here's how to connect your account:
- Go to Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri.
- Tap ChatGPT, then tap Use with an account.
- Follow the instructions to log in to your account.
Disable ChatGPT
If you no longer want to use the function, you can deactivate it at any time:
- Open your iPhone’s Settings and go to “Apple Intelligence & Siri.”
- Select “ChatGPT” and disable the function.
If you want to prevent Siri from suggesting ChatGPT when making requests, also disable the "Set up prompts" option. This gives you full control over when and how ChatGPT is used.
data protection and security
Apple and OpenAI have ensured that your data remains protected when using ChatGPT. If you use the extension without an account, only the contents of your request and attachments such as photos or documents are sent to ChatGPT. OpenAI does not receive any information linked to your Apple account and your IP address remains hidden. However, your approximate location is provided to process your request. Important to know:
- OpenAI processes your requests only to complete the task and does not store them permanently.
- If you use a ChatGPT account, OpenAI's privacy policy applies.
