You can now officially set ChatGPT as your default voice assistant on Android. Previously, this required the VoiceGPT plugin, but the latest update allows you to bypass Google Assistant or Gemini and use ChatGPT’s advanced voice mode, which sounds more natural and lifelike.
Here’s how to set ChatGPT as your default assistant on your device. With app version 1.2025.070, the “Default digital assistant app” section in the Settings app now includes ChatGPT as an option for voice assistant. Simply select ChatGPT to make it your default assistant. Once you set you can trigger ChatGPT’s voice mode by long-pressing the power button or using side-swiping or shortcut.
ChatGPT’s advanced voice mode can understand different accents and speaking styles, pick up on things like how fast you’re talking, and respond with appropriate emotion in its voice. Overall, the new advanced voice mode makes ChatGPT sound more human-like and natural when you talk to it out loud.
