With the announcement that the ChatGPT app is only for the States, many people are trying to find out how to download the ChatGPT iOS app if you’re not in the US.
The ChatGPT app has been announced for iOS users in the US. However, it’s been promised by OpenAI that those limitations will only last for a few more weeks and that the ChatGPT app for Android will be coming soon, as will access for other countries. For now, though, you can only access the app if you’re in the US.
Are there any ways to get around this?
How to download the ChatGPT iOS app if you’re not in the US
First off, it’s important to note that we don’t really recommend changing your settings to say that you’re in a different country. There may be unexpected consequences like losing access to apps and services that were only available in your country, or other issues. If you are determined though, you can change your country in Apple settings like this:
- Open up Settings.
- Tap on your Apple ID.
- Tap Media & Purchases > View Account.
- Enter your password when prompted.
- Go to Country/Region > Change Country or Region > United States.
- Read the Terms and Conditions and if you are willing to accept the Terms and Conditions, tap Agree.
- Fill in the information as prompted.
Again, we don’t recommend following this course of action as you may incur unexpected consequences. It is also worth noting that OpenAI have confirmed that they intend for the roll-out to more countries to occur at some point in the next few weeks. ChatGPT also is already available in multiple languages, and can even be used to help learn a language, so we don’t anticipate the wait to be overly long. In addition, there are many other AI apps like ChatGPT that you can explore.
We’re going to be watching this closely so make sure to check back in to the page regularly as we will update it with new information as it comes in.
