Step by step
Install ChatGPT on iPhone.
Five safe steps to get the real OpenAI app on iPhone or iPad. These steps describe the general flow; the exact screens can change with iOS updates.
Open the App Store
On your iPhone or iPad, open Apple's App Store and tap the Search tab at the bottom.
Search for ChatGPT
Type ChatGPT into search. Several similarly named apps may appear, so do not tap the first result out of habit.
Confirm the publisher is OpenAI
Open the listing and check the developer line reads OpenAI. You can also jump straight to the official listing at apps.apple.com/app/openai-chatgpt.
Tap Get to install
Tap Get and approve with Face ID, Touch ID or your Apple Account password. 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.

Device and iOS requirements

Before installing, open the listing and confirm the developer is OpenAI. If you are not sure, open chatgpt.com in Safari and follow the official download link from there.
Is it free?
The app is free to install and use on a free OpenAI account, with usage limits. Paid plans such as Plus add higher limits and more features. Confirm current pricing on OpenAI's pricing page before subscribing, since plan details change over time.
Prefer no install?
You do not have to install anything. Open chatgpt.com in Safari to use the official web app, and add it to your Home Screen from the Share menu for an app-like shortcut.
