If you have been using ChatGPT's Advanced Voice features, you know how valuable they are for quick conversations or creative brainstorming.

However, accessing it on your iPhone can be a hassle. Usually, you'll need to open the ChatGPT app, tap "New Chat," and then select the voice icon.

While this method is successful, it can be somewhat complicated and time-consuming. Fortunately, the action button introduced in recent iPhones streamlines the process and allows you to start a voice chat with ChatGPT with a single click.

Here's how to set up the action button for quick access to ChatGPT Advanced Voice:

  • In the settings menu, which is directly below the volume controls, select the "Action Button" option.
  • Select "Shortcut" as the action, then search for or create a new shortcut that launches ChatGPT into a voice discussion.
  • Assign this shortcut to the action button.
  • A quick press and hold of the action button will start ChatGPT's voice mode in seconds. This will be perfect when your phone is in your pocket and you need hands-free access.

ChatGPT's Advanced Voice mode goes beyond basic voice assistants. It raises the bar for AI interactions by analyzing innovative requests, answering complex queries, and even assisting with visual inputs via your camera.

For example, you can use it to brainstorm project ideas, design concepts, or perform research on the go. It's like having a versatile AI companion in your pocket combined with its internet search capability.

ChatGPT Advanced Voice showcases how far AI has come compared to Siri or even Google's Gemini. Siri's limits and Gemini's still-developing features highlight the gap, making ChatGPT an excellent alternative for individuals who appreciate efficiency and depth in an AI assistant.

With the action button shortcut, accessing ChatGPT Advanced Voice has never been easier.

Whether creating, researching, or conversing, this configuration ensures you're only a press away from innovation.
