ChatGPT is temporarily unavailable: problems with Siri integration in iOS 18.2 beta
The widely-used OpenAI chatbot, ChatGPT, encountered a disruption on the evening of Friday, 8 November, resulting in a global inaccessibility issue for its users. The interruption extended to ChatGPT's integration with Siri in the iOS 18.2 beta version.
OpenAI has swiftly pinpointed the root cause of the setback and is diligently engaged in rectifying the situation. While an expedited restoration process is assured by the company, no definite timeline has been communicated yet.
Individuals attempting to engage with the chatbot are encountering sporadic error messages during this downtime. Notably, Apple has introduced Siri compatibility with ChatGPT in the beta iteration of iOS 18.2. This integration enables users to interact with the chatbot through Siri's interface.
Initially offered at no cost, users can opt for a subscription to ChatGPT Plus, connecting their account to Siri for access to supplementary premium functionalities.
