- The last beta chatgpt now allows you to define chatgpt as a default assistant on Android.
- This will allow you to invoke Chatgpt with pimples and gestures.
- Invoke the ChatPPT via this launches the vocal mode of the assistant.
Thanks to the open nature of Android, there is no shortage of digital assistants on the flagship products of Android. However, a limitation in which many of these digital assistants are faced with is that they cannot be defined as the default assistant application on Android. Thus, when you compare Google to Chatgpt Gemini on Android, Gemini has an advantage since users can easily trigger the digital assistant. This changes because you can now define Chatgpt as default assistant application on Android.
With its beta version V1.2025.070 on Android, users can now define Chatgpt as the default assistant application of their device. This allows them to trigger the ChatPPT using all the buttons and gestures they previously used to trigger Gemini.
The definition of chatgpt as an appliance with the default digital assistant by Android allows users to launch it by pressing the home button for a long time (if they use three buttons navigation) or to slide in the lower corner (if you use gesture navigation). You can also press the power button for a long time to launch it if you have activated this setting. Invoke Chatgpt in this way launches its vocal mode, that some would say that it is quite limited in the features compared to what others, like Perplexity AI, can achieve on Android.
If you were hoping to launch chatgpt with a personalized hot word, you would always be disappointed. Even after having configured it as a default assistant, Chatgpt cannot be invoked with a word word, because this functionality requires access to privileged APIs only available for preinstalled confidence applications.
However, this should come as good news for all Chatgpt fans on Android, as they can now use it with much easier.
