App safety

ChatGPT app: use official listings only.

A lot of people search for ChatGPT through app stores. That is normal, but fake or low-quality apps can appear around popular AI names. Use official publisher signals and links from the real website.

App checks

Before installing an AI app.

TopicWhat it meansWhat to do
PublisherThe official ChatGPT app should identify OpenAI as the publisher.Do not install an app just because the icon looks similar.
PermissionsA chatbot app usually does not need broad device access unrelated to chat.Be cautious with contact, SMS, accessibility or file permissions that are not needed.
SubscriptionsSome third-party apps charge for wrappers around other AI services.Check whether the subscription is actually from OpenAI or from another app vendor.
ReviewsFake apps may have copied descriptions or suspicious review patterns.Read recent negative reviews for billing, login or impersonation complaints.

No. Check the publisher, domain, subscription owner and official links.
