Your Android phone might get direct line to your AI assistant: ChatGPT widget on the horizon
ChatGPT for Android now has a home screen widget. The widget has shortcuts to send a text/image/voice query or start conversation mode. This feature is available in version 1.2024.052. pic.twitter.com/dFMFSppzJJ

According to Rahman, the new feature hasn’t officially landed on the Google Play Store yet, and it seems like the previous version is currently in beta. But here’s the exciting part – eager users can still get their hands on it by downloading it separately.
If you’re up for trying the shiny new widget, here’s a heads-up: a couple of them, specifically the camera and image search queries, are exclusive to the paid plan of the ChatGPT app, known as ChatGPT Plus. The premium plan costs $20 per month and gives you:
- General access to ChatGPT, even during peak times
- Faster response times
- Priority access to new features and improvements
