What ChatGPT Integration Means for Siri
Ever since Apple announced its AI stack, Apple Intelligence, earlier this year, one of the most anticipated features has been the ChatGPT-Siri integration. In simple terms, Siri will now pass queries to ChatGPT if it can’t provide a satisfying answer. Or, put more plainly, Siri is gaining an even smarter companion. Thanks to ChatGPT’s multimodal abilities (comprehending both text and multimedia content), users can now ask questions that require image or file processing. In short, this integration makes Siri far more useful. Here’s how to set it up.

How to Enable ChatGPT Integration for Siri
Months after its announcement, Apple finally enabled this feature with the iOS 18.2 update. Best of all, users don’t need to install any app or create an OpenAI account to use ChatGPT on their iPhone. Here’s what you need to do to enable ChatGPT for Siri commands:

Step 1: Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 18.2 or later.

Step 2: Open the Settings app.

Step 3: Look for the section titled “Apple Intelligence & Siri.”

Step 4: Scroll down to the “Extend Apple Intelligence & Siri” section. Select the ChatGPT option underneath.

Step 5: Tap “Set up” next to the ChatGPT option at the top of the screen.

Step 6: On the pop-up page, select “Next,” then “Enable ChatGPT.”

Step 7: In the ChatGPT page under Settings, find the Siri header with a toggle for “Confirm ChatGPT requests.” Enable this as well.

Advanced ChatGPT Features for Subscribed Users
As mentioned above, Siri is now tapping into the natural language and reasoning abilities of ChatGPT, acquired through extensive data training. Therefore, users don’t need to create a dedicated account or log into an OpenAI account. However, users who wish to access more advanced ChatGPT features, such as custom chatbots, will need to sign in to verify their subscription. These features require access to the ChatGPT app, downloadable from the ChatGPT dashboard in the Settings app.
