The system is at full capacity for the most part, with OpenAI struggling to make room for more users.
But if you want to get the most out of ChatGPT, you'll want to use it on the device you access the most, i.e. the iPhone or Android in your pocket.

Next, we'll show you how to use ChatGPT on your iPhone and how to streamline your experience so that you can access the chatbot with a shortcut.
How to sign up for ChatGPT on iPhone
As we mentioned that OpenAI is at capacity limit, we have to explain that all ChatGPT users need personal accounts. If you've already accessed the chatbot in a web browser, you have an account ready. This means a username (email address) and a password.

But you can always create an account on your iPhone. Just load Safari or your iOS browser app of choice and go to chat.openai.com. This is where you'll be able to sign up for ChatGPT, unless the system tells you they're too busy.
You will need an email address to use ChatGPT on your iPhone and elsewhere. And you'll want to set a strong password. The system will also verify your phone number before allowing you entry.
Once this is done, you can access ChatGPT on your iPhone directly from the browser. The following clip should help guide you through the application process:
How about a ChatGPT iPhone app?
Unfortunately, there is no ChatGPT iPhone app at the moment. Perhaps OpenAI will develop one in the future. Until then, you can just bookmark the link in your browser or enter it manually every time you want to interact with the chatbot.
Keep in mind, however, that the answers ChatGPT will provide will not always be correct. It's not as accurate as the regular version of Search, so you might want to double-check some of the facts the chatbot provides.
How to Use a Shortcut for ChatGPT on iPhone
While there is no ChatGPT iPhone app, the good news is that you can create a shortcut for it relatively quickly. Fabian Heuwieser made an easy-to-follow tutorial, posting it on Medium a few weeks ago.
You can replicate the steps as shown in the shortcut or just download the shortcut yourself.
You will still need a ChatGPT account to create the iPhone shortcut. That's because you'll need your OpenAI API key, and it's only available through an account. How to use ChatGPT on your iPhone?
Generating the API key is incredibly easy. All you need to do is log into your ChatGPT account and create an iPhone API key. This is where you can create the API key.
After retrieving this key, open the Shortcuts app and create the shortcuts as shown in the screenshots provided by Heuwieser. An alternative is to download the shortcut from this link. If you download it, you'll need your API key to hand.
Once the shortcut is ready, you can interact with ChatGPT on your iPhone without needing the browser. The shortcut will also work on Apple Watch if you feel like you need to access the chatbot on your wrist.
