ChatGPT recently introduced its latest flagship model, the GPT-4o, which is now accessible for both Plus and free users with multimodal capability. Alongside this launch, the company unveiled its very first desktop app designed for macOS users, with plans for the Windows version to be released later this year.
ChatGPT app for macOS
The new ChatGPT app for macOS is available free of charge, offering full utilization of GPT-4o and seamless integration into the operating system. Users can employ this app across various applications and services, with a convenient shortcut (Option + Space) for quick access.
The desktop app not only enables text-based conversations but also supports voice interactions, with upcoming integration of GPT-4o’s audio and video functionalities. Initially, access to the ChatGPT app for macOS is restricted to Plus subscribers, but the company plans to extend availability to all users in the near future.
Official App Release
Despite the presence of numerous fake ChatGPT apps on the Mac App Store, the official version is yet to be listed on the platform. Some users have reported resorting to direct downloads from OpenAI’s directory. Upon installation and login attempts, non-Plus users are met with a 'coming soon' notification, indicating limited access exclusive to premium subscribers.
Features and Optimizations
Based on available screenshots, the ChatGPT app for macOS is tailored for desktop usage, resembling the updated web version in design. Its resizable window feature enables users to upload images and text screenshots directly, facilitating queries based on visual content.

Platform Expansion
ChatGPT has followed an Apple-first strategy, initially launching its mobile app for iPhone before introducing the Android version later. Similarly, the desktop app is initially accessible to Mac users, with assurance from the company regarding the upcoming release of a ChatGPT app tailored for Windows users later this year.
Bollywood and Digital Image
Post-pandemic, Bollywood events have taken a strange turn as producers pay audiences to generate hype on social media platforms. This trend of orchestrating artificial excitement has become prevalent, leading to the utilization of fake crowds by celebrities and agencies to manipulate perceptions and portray an exaggerated reality. This digital practice, involving significant financial investments to enhance digital image, poses potential risks.
