ChatGPT has made its way into various platforms, spanning web, desktop, and mobile. Yet, the official application is limited to the latest devices running iOS 17 or newer. Fortunately, a 17-year-old developer has crafted an alternative ChatGPT app that’s compatible with much older iPhones, including the iPhone 3GS.
ChatGPT for Legacy iOS: AI for Older iPhones
The application, named “ChatGPT for Legacy iOS,” serves as a client for devices that do not meet the requirements of the official app. Utilizing the OpenAI API, it functions similarly to the official ChatGPT application.
The developer emphasizes that this app is more than just a “proof of concept,” as it includes features like contextual memory and chat history, true to ChatGPT’s functionality. Users can even upload images, enabling visual searches on devices that have long been phased out.
ChatGPT for Legacy iOS allows older iOS versions to communicate interactively with the OpenAI API. It encompasses many functionalities familiar from modern chatbot applications, such as comprehensive text conversations with context, image analysis, and image generation capabilities. Your dialogues are consistently saved, granting access to them at any time.
The ChatGPT Legacy app is compatible with iOS 6 and newer, facilitating operation on devices like the iPhone 3GS and above. However, due to the inability to distribute apps for these models via the App Store, users will need to have a jailbroken device to install ChatGPT for Legacy iOS.
Once the app is installed, users must log in with a ChatGPT API key, available on the OpenAI website.
