Using ChatGPT, whether on your Mac or iPhone, or anywhere else, requires creating an account with OpenAI:

• Choose “Sign up” if you do not yet have an OpenAI account

• Enter an email address then a password to configure your account
• The platform sends you an email to the address indicated to verify it
• Go to the mailbox for the address indicated and find the email sent by OpenAI
• Click on “Verify email address”

• Then fill in your first name (“First name”) and last name (“Last name”)
• Enter your phone number (you must insert a real number there, because OpenAI will ask you to confirm it)
• Verify the phone number by entering the code received by SMS

Complete the following steps until you arrive at a new ChatGPT chat window, named “New chat”, with ChatGPT written at the top in large letters.

2. Create a ChatGPT shortcut for the home screen

To access the ChatGPT web address more quickly, simply create aSafari shortcut for home screen. ChatGPT will then appear as another application on your iPhone, which you can open with a simple tap without touching Safari again:
