The ChatGPT Background Chat feature has arrived. Now, you’ll be able to use other apps while talking to GPT-4.

OpenAI has brought a major update to the ChatGPT mobile app, and this innovation will make it much easier to use. Now, when you talk to ChatGPT, you can continue to use other apps thanks to ‘Background Chat’. For example, if there is a part of a game that you cannot pass, just call out to ChatGPT. So how do you activate it? Here is the detailed explanation…

ChatGPT has been updated! Now it's much easier to use

In short, this feature works by allowing you to talk to ChatGPT (GPT-4) while doing other things at the same time. This new feature, called “Background Chat,” can be enabled in the audio mode section of the settings. Once enabled, you can start chatting with the voice assistant of your choice (except Sky).

The Background Chat feature is in preparation for the launch of GPT-4 Voice, which OpenAI unveiled at its spring event and will be released in the coming weeks. So, what is GPT-4 Voice? Thanks to the Background Chat feature, ChatGPT-4 Voice can continue working even when you exit the application, use another app, or when the screen is off. For iPhone users, it’s possible to access ChatGPT Voice by tapping on the dynamic candidate while in another app.

Your chats continue naturally with Background Chat as if you were inside the app. Of course, there may be a slight delay between responses, but overall, it offers a pretty smooth experience. And there’s more… You can use it to ask questions or get ideas while working on a document.

For example, you can read the text you type into ChatGPT and get feedback. Or, it can be a tremendous help to get tips and walkthroughs while playing games. Especially when you get stuck in a challenging section that you can’t pass in games, you can get instant help from ChatGPT.

You can also use it to do language translation when touring the city with a map open. When you’re traveling in a foreign country, you can get instant translation help from ChatGPT. This feature will be in preparation for OpenAI’s upcoming Omni Voice. Omni Voice will be a speech-to-speech system powered by GPT-4, offering a faster, more natural experience. In addition, video sharing support will also be offered.

This innovation from OpenAI makes ChatGPT even more useful and accessible. Now you don’t need to stay on the app to chat with GPT-4. You can chat while you run errands.
