ChatGPT can now replace Gemini on Android to become the default assistant
AndroidAuthority, in its latest report, claims that the latest beta version of ChatGPT’s mobile app adds a new feature that allows the users to set OpenAI’s chatbot as the default virtual assistant on Android devices.
On most of the Android devices, Google Gemini serves as a default virtual assistant. Enabling ChatGPT and making it the default assistant would prevent the users from triggering Google’s Gemini or Google Assistant.
Once users set ChatGPT as the default assistant, they will be able to access and trigger ChatGPT using a similar gesture needed to trigger Gemini or Google Assistant. Since the update is only available to beta users, not every user can access the function for now.
