With the latest beta update, you can now set ChatGPT as the default assistant on Android, opening up more ways to quickly trigger it.

Gemini not doing it for you? If you're looking for a better AI-powered Android assistant, you can now switch it to ChatGPT.

OpenAI has rolled out a new beta update for its ChatGPT app on Android. This update allows users to set ChatGPT as their default digital assistant, a feature that positions it as a direct competitor to Google's Gemini.

There are a lot of AI assistants available now, from Google’s own Gemini to Perplexity and many others. The listed two allow you to set them as a default assistant in Android. That means it will be the go-to option when users activate it via the power button shortcut that has been around since Google Assistant.

You can now set ChatGPT as the default assistant on Android, replacing Gemini. This will enable you to quickly invoke ChatGPT's voice mode by long-pressing the power button or swiping up from the screen's corner.
