ChatGPT iOS App Opens In Canada, Nigeria, Brazil, 30 More Countries

A week after releasing it in the United States, OpenAI has increased the number of countries where iOS users may download its ChatGPT app. These 32 more nations include Nigeria.

The list of new nations also includes Algeria, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Estonia, Ghana, India, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Namibia, Nauru, Oman, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Qatar, Slovenia, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates.

After the United States, OpenAI earlier this week added the ChatGPT app to 11 other nations.

These include the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Korea, and other European countries including France, Germany, and Ireland.

According to information provided by app intelligence company data.ai, the ChatGPT mobile app has surpassed the milestone of half a million downloads in the first six days after being live in the United States last Thursday (May 18).

It is now one of the best-performing new applications thanks to this accomplishment.

In terms of downloads since its debut, the app has also surpassed rival AI and chatbot applications as well as Microsoft Edge and Bing applications in the United States, according to data.ai.

Users may communicate with the generative AI-based chatbot using their iPhone by downloading the free ChatGPT app, which does not include advertisements.

Additionally, it enables voice input via OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition engine and gives ChatGPT Plus users access to GPT-4's advanced capabilities.

Additionally, customers may immediately download the iOS app and sign up for the $20 monthly ChatGPT Plus subscription.

The ChatGPT app is now only available for iOS from OpenAI.

However, the Microsoft-backed business also has an Android version in the works that it has vowed to release shortly.

It also has backing from notable VC companies like Tiger Global and a16z.

The growth of the ChatGPT app comes as the CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman travels to numerous nations to strengthen relationships with international politicians and comprehend their worries about AI.

This week, the administration had meetings with a few European heads of state. He's going to India early next month as well.
