how do you remember Last week we told you that the long-awaited ChatGPT app is now a reality. Of course, when I say this, it is necessary to specify that I mean the official application, the OpenAI application, because in recent months both the iOS App Store and Google Play for Android have been filled with applications designed by third parties that provide access, generally through the box, to the chatbot. And as usual, cybercriminals have also tried to get a piece of it from the beginning. So having your own OpenAI application is undoubtedly excellent news.

In its debut, yes, the app was only available in the App Store in the United States, although OpenAI he claimed who intended to make the jump to other markets soon. Of course, this is usually interpreted in terms of months, but on this occasion, it would be interpreted this way in light of the facts, because between last Wednesday and today, the official ChatGPT app has reached the iOS App Store from another 45 countries, which are as follows:

• Albanian
• Germany
• Algeria
• Argentina
• Azerbaijan
• Bolivian
• Brazil
• Canada
• Chili
• South Korea
• Costa Rica
• Croatia
• Ecuador
• United Arab Emirates
• Slovenia
• Estonia
• France
• Ghana
• India
• Iraq
• Ireland
• Israel
• Jamaica
• Japan
• Jordan
• Catarrh
• Kazakhstan
• Kuwait
• Lebanon
• Lithuania
• Morocco
• Mauricio
• Mauritania
• Mexico
• Namibia
• Nauru
• Nicaragua
• Nigeria
• New Zealand
• Oman
• Pakistan
• Peru
• Poland
• United Kingdom
• Tunisia

So if we count the United States, their original market, the official ChatGPT app for iOS is now available in a total of 46 countries and given the speed with which OpenAI seems to have carried out this process, we can think that we will not have to wait long before the application is also available in the Spanish App Store.

Today we expanded the ChatGPT iOS app to over 30 countries! Now serving users in Algeria, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Estonia, Ghana, India, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lithuania (🧵1/2)

If you’ve looked at the list of countries, you’ll have seen that I’ve bolded eight of them, and of course I didn’t do that for aesthetic reasons. Croatia, Germany, Estonia, France, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland and Slovenia are part of the European Unionwhich I can’t help but interpret as further confirmation that, as I said a few hours ago, OpenAI is very interested in the market that makes up the common European space, and that as a result, despite what many media outlets have said, there are no plans to leave the EU.

For the rest, it is interesting to see that although the deployment of the application is gradual, its plans are global because the app is now available in countries on five continents. However, perhaps as a way to reduce the potential impact of this deployment on the infrastructure needed to deliver the service, for now the official ChatGPT app remains exclusive to iOS, although OpenAI has promised Android version “coming soon”. Hopefully it will be as fast as the international expansion of the iOS version.
