ChatGPT Android app permissions
Judging by the current ChatGPT page on the Google Play Store, the permissions required for the app will be fairly standard when it arrives. The list of permissions is for access to:
- Location (Approximate location)
- Personal info (Name, Email address and Phone number)
- Messages (Other in-app messages)
- App activity (App interactions and Other user-generated content)
- App info and performance (Crash logs, Diagnostics and Other app performance data)
Why was the ChatGPT Android app delayed?
Although we don’t know the reason for the split release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT apps, the company received some reports of odd behavior with its release of the iOS app back in May – notably that the app reportedly led to some overheating and battery drain on the iPhones it was installed on. In any case, it makes sense that OpenAI would want to squash any potential issues before releasing a second app.
