Siri, meet ChatGPT. On Wednesday, Apple released updated versions of its iOS software iOS 18.2, meaning iPhone, iPad and Mac users will be able to integrate the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT with Apple’s virtual assistant Siri. Although ChatGPT was available on iPhone without iOS 18.2, this update integrates ChatGPT with Siri if the user requests it.

You’ll need an iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, or device from the iPhone 16 series to get the update, but even if you have another iPhone, you’ll still get new features, including updates to Mail and Find My Apps.

You do not need a paid ChatGPT account to use the feature. But if you haven’t already, you need to get on Apple Intelligence’s waiting list. Go to Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri and tap Join the Apple Intelligence waitlist. It should take a few hours to receive approval. You must also join the waitlist to use Genmoji and Image Playground. (If your phone isn’t one of the latest models, you won’t have this option – the standard iPhone 15 won’t have it, but the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will.)

Now when you use Siri with ChatGPT built in, you’ll see a glowing light around your screen. If the question you’re asking Siri is one that ChatGPT may be able to help with, the phone should ask you for permission to access ChatGPT for your questions.
