ChatGPT is a widely used AI assistant that answers questions and provides helpful information on many subjects, making learning more enjoyable and easier. The Background Conversation for smartphones and the Companion Window feature for desktops help make ChatGPT even more fun to use.
What is ChatGPT’s Background Conversation for Smartphone?
The ChatGPT mobile app includes a Background Conversation feature that enables your chats to continue even when you switch to another app or lock your phone. The advantage of this feature is that you can interact with the chatbot about whatever content you’re looking at even if your phone is locked.
For example, while viewing a webpage, checking a WhatsApp message, or even observing your surroundings, you can interact with ChatGPT. You can ask your AI assistant questions without needing to return to the ChatGPT app, facilitating a seamless flow of information and interaction.
However, for privacy reasons, the background conversation feature is disabled by default, so you’ll need to enable it if you wish to use it.
