Five safe steps to get the real OpenAI app on an Android phone or tablet. These steps describe the general flow; exact screens can change between Android and Google Play versions.
Open Google Play
On your Android device, open the Google Play Store app and tap the search bar at the top.
Search for ChatGPT
Type ChatGPT into search. Several similarly named apps may appear, so do not install the first result out of habit.
Confirm the developer is OpenAI
Open the listing and check the developer reads OpenAI and the package is com.openai.chatgpt. You can also jump straight to the official listing at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.openai.chatgpt.
Tap Install
Tap Install and wait for the download to finish. The app is free to install.
Open and sign in
Open ChatGPT, then sign in or create an OpenAI account so your chat history syncs across the app and chatgpt.com.
Use more than ChatGPT
Want ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and more in one place?
MultipleChat is useful when you do not want to jump between separate AI tabs. You can use multiple leading AI models, compare answers side by side, generate images, work with documents, and use AI Collaboration when one answer is not enough.
Privacy-first: MultipleChat doesn’t save your chats to memory and doesn’t share your data with model providers or let them train on it.

The minimum Android version is shown under About this app on the listing. Requirements can change between releases, so check the current requirement on Google Play or OpenAI's help center rather than relying on a fixed number here.

It is safer to install from Google Play, where the developer is verified as OpenAI. Third-party APK sites can bundle modified or malicious versions of an app. If Google Play is unavailable on your device, use chatgpt.com in your browser instead.
