Google Assistant is the default digital assistant on Android smartphones. But if you ever wanted to give that job to ChatGPT, you can with the help of a third-party app. We’ll show you how to set ChatGPT as the default assistant app on your Android phone so you can invoke it from any screen with the press of a button.
To set ChatGPT as your default assistant app on your Android device, you’ll need to download a third-party app called VoiceGPT.
