How to turn on ChatGPT on iPhone

Sunday October 11, 2026 2:25 pm EAT by Emily Long

You can allow Apple Intelligence to work with ChatGPT from OpenAI, to help you get things done.

With the ChatGPT extension on, you can choose whether to sign in with a ChatGPT account, send requests to ChatGPT without confirming, and turn ChatGPT off whenever you want. To use it, you need to be at least 13, or the minimum age in your country.

Here’s how to turn on ChatGPT on iPhone.

Note: Apple Intelligence on iOS 27 or later is available on an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or iPhone 16 model or later. Apple Intelligence is not available in all languages or regions. Usage limits may apply.* The ChatGPT extension is available only in regions where the ChatGPT app and service are available. **

Turn on ChatGPT

If the ChatGPT extension is off, you can turn it on in Settings.

Note: You must be at least 13 years old or the minimum age required in your country to consent to use ChatGPT.

Start the Settings app on your iPhone.
Tap Siri.
Tap ChatGPT, tap Set Up, and then follow the onscreen instructions. If you’re using Siri AI (Beta), tap Set Up Extensions, tap ChatGPT, and then turn on Use Extension. Note: Siri AI is available in beta on iOS 27 or later on an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or iPhone 16 model or later with Siri and device language set to a supported language. Available in English to start. Siri AI will not initially be available in the EU on iOS. Usage limits may apply.
Choose whether to sign in with a ChatGPT account. If you want your requests saved to your ChatGPT chat history, you must be signed in to a ChatGPT account.

Send requests to ChatGPT without confirming

You control when ChatGPT gets used, and you’ll see a request for permission before any of your information is shared. You can also let Siri send requests to ChatGPT automatically, without asking.

Start the Settings app on your iPhone.
Tap Siri.
Below Extensions, tap ChatGPT.
Turn off Confirm Requests.

Note: This option isn’t available if you’re using Siri AI. You must first ask ChatGPT before a prompt, photos, or files are sent to ChatGPT.

Tap ChatGPT and turn off Use ChatGPT.

If you’re using Siri AI, tap Extensions, tap ChatGPT, then turn off Use Extension.

You can also block access to the ChatGPT extension in Screen Time settings.

ChatGPT and privacy

With the ChatGPT extension, it’s your choice what content to send to ChatGPT. To answer your request and provide you accurate and relevant results, ChatGPT receives your request and attachments. It also gets limited data associated with the request, such as your language, country, current time zone, device type, and the feature being used when you make the request.

Your IP address stays obscured from ChatGPT, but ChatGPT does get your general location for purposes such as preventing fraud and complying with applicable law.

If you access the ChatGPT extension without an account, only the information described above will be sent to ChatGPT. OpenAI does not receive any information tied to your Apple Account. Apple says OpenAI must process your data solely for the purpose of fulfilling your request, and not store your request or any responses it provides unless required under applicable laws. OpenAI also must not use your request to improve or train its models.

Once you’re signed in to a ChatGPT account, OpenAI’s data privacy policies apply, along with your ChatGPT account settings.

For more information, go to the Settings app on your iPhone, then tap Siri. Tap ChatGPT, then tap About ChatGPT Extension & Privacy.
