OpenAI’s ChatGPT May Soon Become Android Phones’ Default Digital Assistant Replacing Google

Developments within the ChatGPT Android app. While the platform has been a central player in the 2023 surge of generative AI, accessing ChatGPT on Android has always required users to navigate to OpenAI’s website or utilize its dedicated app present on the Google Play store.

However, recent code revelations hint at a future where ChatGPT could serve as the default digital assistant app, simplifying user interactions with the chatbot.


ChatGPT’s Android app recently underwent a significant update (version 1.2023.352), released last month. Notably, this update introduced a new activity named “com.openai.voice.assistant.AssistantActivity,” suggesting potential strides towards the option for ‘default assistant’ functionality.
